    I can't believe how much of difference one season of growing has made in that planting! That is really starting to look good.

    Hey Nigel,
    Just a suggestion but in one of the houses you could create a mini-bonsai zone with those tiny pots you showed in another video

      @@TheBonsaiZone maybe with some tiny tight leafed plants like a thyme or dwarf cypress variety, I bet those would look good as a mame in front of one of those houses.

      @@birder4life999 i don’t think it would look good. You can put a mame pot with that houses sizes, it doesn’t match. You will lose the sense of escale.

    Such a beautiful planting. I felt like I could walk down that path and I love the hedges and bushes out of moss. Thank you for sharing.

    I have so many comments on this one. First, I think that the diorama bonsai style is my favorite part of your collections. I originally didn't like this design bc it was alot of work setting it up. It's beautiful now that the trees are growing and worth it.
    Second, I thing you should start adding a sequence of the evolution to these trees at the end of the vids. It would be amazing to watch and remember.

    Just finished watching whole playlist from the start. I wonder if roots will start pushing houses up a bit next year, I guess you would just prune roots every other year or so .. amazing work on this Penjing village scenery! It has very realistic feel to it, some tiny birds sitting inside trees on branches could be nice touch..
