I used to watch you and Peter very often a couple years back. I just started watching again and it’s mind blowing seeing all of your bonsai back to back. I remember you having a bunch but this is a ton! I’m looking to get a bonsai soonish so brushing up with you guys :)
I just watched your meeting with Nigel Saunders. Delightful! As usual Mr Chan (the elder) speaks a lot and Mr Saunders is more hesitant. However, the meeting of these two very different persons concentrating on a shared interest was quite rewarding.
How wonderful! The awe of Peter about Nigel’s trees is so amazing. Even about the rather unusual species regarded not as suitable for bonsai. It only shows with some dedication, everything can be turned into bonsai. What an epic meet! Nigel should visit Herons in the UK someday.
Yes, what struck me was the acer campestre. In the Uk it is often used as hedging and I don't think many people view it as a wonderful tree in it's own right. I do love acer campestre, I think the leaves look beautiful.
@@Stettafire yeah I have a group planting of the field maple as well, dug some up that grew curved next to each other, they are very vigorous and common here, but the leaves are pretty, much more than the sycamore that is also very common here in the Netherlands.
I love Peter Chan so much. He absolutely brings a smile to my face. It is wonderful to see these two bonsai giants together. These men got me through the pandemic and onto my own bonsai journey. I will forever be grateful.
I knew i'd find you in the comments here! it really is special to see them both on such good form. It's like when 2 friends of yours meet and hit it off!
Oh how I enjoyed this video... A meeting of two Titans. So warm, so friendly, so much mutual understanding... I don't even think a single word had to be spoken. You can feel that mutual understanding, through the language of the eyes, which is the language of the soul. A big THANK YOU for this video.
One of the best takeaways is at 37:05. Nigel hits the nail on the head- when people are frustrated that they only get 200 TH-cam views- imagine speaking to 200 people in an auditorium. This may be my favorite Nigel and Peter video yet.
I wouldn't dare calling my mini trees 'bonsai'. I started fairly late in life with a hazel grown from seed and I mainly collect seedlings from the wild. Some trees I have grown from seed and a few by airlayering. I have learned a lot(and still learning ) from both gentlemen. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The two main people that inspired me to get into bonsai in one video! Fantastic!! There is no much nuance in there and so much to learn, how can that be when there is no bonsai work on show! So here I go and look at that nebari!
Nigel was my introduction for indoor and outdoor Bonsai in a Northern climate. Peter's TH-cam was for refining what I have grown. Awesome to see the two together and sharing. Thank you both!
I did not realise how much of a legend Peter was untill I watched this episode. Been following both Peter and Nigel for years on youtube. How wonderful to see them togeather!
There have been some great Bonsai Masters in History...but for us Millennials...u 2 are of the greatest Bonsai Masters...thanks for helping us find passion as well as peace in this art.
Peter, thanks for featuring my favourite Canadian bonsai artist. You two had such fun…signing his books was positively emotional. From middle of BC. Canada.
Seeing Peter excited and surprised at certain plants has hit home just how unique lot of your bonsai really are, Nige! It's videos like these that help me mourn for my lost plants to the british heatwave faster and persevere with my surviving plants! Keep up the good work both of you! - Ashley Bonner
It gave me the same feeling as working and growing my Bonsai - awesome see the 2 that I always watch and Learn from get together. Shawn from South Africa what a great moment.
Not sure how to comment on this video it is so special to see both talking about something you love from so different backgrounds and different continents with just the same passion for your subject bonsai. Thank you both for the honour of allowing us to eves drop on conversations.
I thought I would never finish watching a 42 min video but I was so overjoyed at the interactions and stories both of you presented I watched the whole video in one shot!!!!
It’s really wonderful to see you guys (legends of bonsai) to-gather in a video! Best wish to both of you, and keep posting the wonderful works. Thanks.
I have been waiting for this video and it didnt dissappoint me. Two of my biggest bonsai influencers in one location. Thank you - both of you have helped me on my journey into bonsai and then onto TH-cam in my little garden retreat. :)
Just received my copy of "Bonsai Masterclass" here in Germay. Big surprise: Handwritten wishes on the first page! :-) Thank you so much, a beautiful book! Thank you for your inspirational work here on TH-cam! I enjoy it nearly every evening. So much videos to watch! All the best from Germany, Peter!
I found myself sitting with a big smile on troughout the hole video. Most injoyable content i have seen in a long time. So great to see Peters inner child light up.
EPIC EPISODE…both of you inspire me with your ideas and experiments and to see you both on the same video is better than a blockbuster movie. Had to watch this twice ❤️👩🏻🌾🪴
I wonder if it is the bonsai that made them the way they are, or that it is the way they are that made them do bonsai. I watch both for many years and never see 2 similar men anywhere, not on youtube, not in real life. They bring a lot of joy into many lifes and seeing them together in one video is truly great.
I love Canada - I have relatives there - 3 sisters. I have been visiting Canada since 2003 but never tell bonsai folk that I am there as I like to keep my private family life separate from bonsai but on this visit and because of TH-cam, I felt I had to tell the Bonsai community that I was coming to Toronto . I enjoy my visit thoroughly . 😄
Nigel, what a " Joy " to hear Peter show you such respect , respect you rightly deserve... and he has brought to my mind the fact that maybe its time for you to put all your knowledge & skill to print in your 1st Book !!! ...kind regards from England .
I would have so much fun walking thru that garden, listening and learning. Ive only tried bonsai with avocado seeds. Everytime I eat one I plant my seed. Ive never bought Peters books, but Ive watched every video. ❤ I would just follow Peter around everywhere soaking up his knowledge.
just amazing!! two humble individuals with the same passion from different sides of the world. so similar in their teachings and views on the art of bonsai. and yes everything has a spirit!!
🌲🌳 Im watching you and also Nigels channel for many, many years and it's so awesome to see you together. You and Nigel sucefully inspired me to start with Bonsai. Thanks, guys, for all your work. 😊🌳🌲
I've just started bonsai in New Zealand after watching your videos, and the funny thing was the first time I visited the local bonsai club one of the members recommended I watch your videos. So the founder of the New Zealand bonsai society was definitely telling the truth!
5:35 In tropical climate, we only need maybe 3-4 years to get same growth in Ficus Religiosa as Nigel needed 30 years to achieve. I always look at these deciduous trees. Pines and maples and always regret because we cannot grow those in tropics. But somehow it made me very impressed how we can grow something that are native to our land in almost 1/10th the time spent and get similar if not even better results.
Thank you so much for visiting Peter, it was a delight meeting you!!!!!
I used to watch you and Peter very often a couple years back. I just started watching again and it’s mind blowing seeing all of your bonsai back to back. I remember you having a bunch but this is a ton! I’m looking to get a bonsai soonish so brushing up with you guys :)
Great to see thank you both for sharing
Hi. Could you please write me the author and title of the other Bonsaibook beside Bonsai Masterclass ?
@@h.o.o.d.berlin It is Simon & Schuster's Guide to Bonsai.
I just watched your meeting with Nigel Saunders. Delightful! As usual Mr Chan (the elder) speaks a lot and Mr Saunders is more hesitant. However, the meeting of these two very different persons concentrating on a shared interest was quite rewarding.
Peter is like a kid in a sweet shop 😂
Spot on 😅
Yes, I had the same thought!
yeas XD
Hearing Peter screeching WOOWOOO did put a smile on on my face
Love these two guys. Down to earth, making bonsai accessible to everyone. As it should be.
How wonderful! The awe of Peter about Nigel’s trees is so amazing. Even about the rather unusual species regarded not as suitable for bonsai. It only shows with some dedication, everything can be turned into bonsai. What an epic meet! Nigel should visit Herons in the UK someday.

The 2 most iconic people in the bonsai world! I was so excited for this video. Thank you Peter, thank you Nigel!!!

Peter’s excitement is infectious 😆💚

@@bonsaijourneyuk just subscribed to you mate! Thanks 😁💚
This has got to be my most favorite episode! Watching two icons get together was awesome! Nigel looked so thrilled
Oh how I enjoyed this video...
A meeting of two Titans.
So warm, so friendly, so much mutual understanding... I don't even think a single word had to be spoken. You can feel that mutual understanding, through the language of the eyes, which is the language of the soul.
A big THANK YOU for this video.
What a joy to listen to Peter's excitement as he sees things he has not seen before. He's like a child at his first circus! LOL
This made my heart very happy. What a treat to see Peter jumping from tree to tree with delight!
Kindred spirits indeed. This meeting was so special.
"All us bonsai people are crazy" -Peter Chan

Lots of love to you both Peter and Nigel, from India... It's like 2 bonsai gods from different cultures having some chat together. ❤
it great seeing the beginning of the bonsai cinematic universe. such a wholesome meeting of 2 great tree nerds
Omg, the bonsaï matrix is definitely corrupted ! So awesome to see these two awesome personnalities meeting each other.

Peter’s comments on Nigel’s originality quite literally cool!
Bravo to the both of you in all of your hard work!
What a privileged meeting between the two of them. Both have given so much to bonsai!
The two main people that inspired me to get into bonsai in one video! Fantastic!! There is no much nuance in there and so much to learn, how can that be when there is no bonsai work on show! So here I go and look at that nebari!
Two legends in a single frame... It's a bliss to my eyes to see both legends together and share their knowledge and enthusiasm 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
2 of the communities most 'love them or hate them' people come together. What a crossover event.
I'm awestruck! Looking at my 2 great teachers ,and I being a huge fan of bonsai art, I got goosebumps. You guys,are so cool !
Nigel was my introduction for indoor and outdoor Bonsai in a Northern climate. Peter's TH-cam was for refining what I have grown. Awesome to see the two together and sharing. Thank you both!
😮"When two worlds meet " was a nice journey Peter.I enjoyed every moment of it. Thankyou for posting such a beautiful video.Love from India.
Great , Peter and Nigel, two Mavericks together , so wounderful 🥰😃👍
i do not think, that we can see Peter, so stunnend to speak! Two great minds together.
I did not realise how much of a legend Peter was untill I watched this episode. Been following both Peter and Nigel for years on youtube. How wonderful to see them togeather!
Love to watch how different strong personalities match with the same passion for nature.
I feel so blessed to see 2 masters of bonsai meeting and being so humble.
Thanks to technology, which would otherwise have not been possible.
Got to be one of the best videos on TH-cam I've watched. Two legends meeting. Both inspired me to get into bonsai. Thank you both!
Me too!
Was literally going to write this very comment.
what an honor it would be to have Peter visit. Good job Nigel, you must be so proud.
I will treasure this video. My two favorite Bonsai people!
I really enjoyed this video. Your excitement was genuine and infectious. Keep it up for us to continue following you. Thanks Peter and Nigel.

Hahaha Epic meets. Two bonsai youtubers on 1 movie🎉🎉🎉
"Be True to Yourself. Be Honest With Yourself. Do What You Believe." Words of wisdom from Peter Chan that speak to true artistry.
Peter ( & Nigel). This was a joy,
I love that Peter is enjoying himself so much! Truly made my day!
Peter, thanks for featuring my favourite Canadian bonsai artist. You two had such fun…signing his books was positively emotional. From middle of BC. Canada.

Peter and Nigel! What a blast to watch. Thank you both!!!
I've definitely had a dream before that this cross-over happened!
The real thing is even better than the dream
I got my inspiration for bonsai from Nigel and I was so happy to see him in person after five years.
I thought I would never finish watching a 42 min video but I was so overjoyed at the interactions and stories both of you presented I watched the whole video in one shot!!!!

How amazing to see Peter with Nigel. I absolutely love watching all these TH-cam videos.
Such lovely people do Bonsai.
EPIC EPISODE…both of you inspire me with your ideas and experiments and to see you both on the same video is better than a blockbuster movie. Had to watch this twice ❤️👩🏻🌾🪴
This collaboration still blows my mind.
Wow epic featuring!!❤ two artists!!
Two very experienced Bonsai “kids” enjoying the achievements!
Great contributions !
So motivating!
So interesting !
So inspiring !
Love Nigel’s ficus’s the most
I wonder if it is the bonsai that made them the way they are, or that it is the way they are that made them do bonsai.
I watch both for many years and never see 2 similar men anywhere, not on youtube, not in real life. They bring a lot of joy into many lifes and seeing them together in one video is truly great.
We are very similar in many ways - We are simple folk - We enjoy bonsai - and we dont have Ego.
The two living bonsai legends meet at last! Love these guys! ❤🤙
It would be amazing to spend the afternoon wandering around with these two greats.
Unbelievable. What a great time in history. To come together and share. Long live Peter and Nigel!
What a heart warming video. 🙌🏼
It was so fun to see Peters joy and enthusiasm . and as a Canadian i hope he really enjoyed his stay here.
I love Canada - I have relatives there - 3 sisters. I have been visiting Canada since 2003 but never tell bonsai folk that I am there as I like to keep my private family life separate from bonsai but on this visit and because of TH-cam, I felt I had to tell the Bonsai community that I was coming to Toronto . I enjoy my visit thoroughly .
😄
How fun to see these two kindred spirits together!
It made my day to see this. Can't tell you the last time I laughed out loud like when I saw the thumbnail.
Loved to see bonsai community is spreading very very fast... I have been addicted to both your respective channels.
My two favorite bonsai people in the same video. So awesome. Excellent video.
"LOOK AT THAAAAAAT!!!"
I've never before seen Peter so excited :D
The Chan man in the zone 😮
"Trees outlive us." - Peter Chan
Such a nice video ! I loved Peter's reactions to the unusual trees Nigel creates ! Loved it.
10:00 those ducks are adorable
Nigel, what a " Joy " to hear Peter show you such respect , respect you rightly deserve... and he has brought to my mind the fact that maybe its time for you to put all your knowledge & skill to print in your 1st Book !!! ...kind regards from England .
What a fantastic adventure for both you and Nigel! Thank you for taking us along for the visit!
It was lovely seeing peter so happy and to have a fun tour of the nursery, i'm sure a lot of us viewers would be exclaiming similarly to peter!!!!!
I would have so much fun walking thru that garden, listening and learning. Ive only tried bonsai with avocado seeds. Everytime I eat one I plant my seed. Ive never bought Peters books, but Ive watched every video. ❤ I would just follow Peter around everywhere soaking up his knowledge.
Wow what an amazing show!! Thanks so much for putting this epic collaboration together!!
That dudes collection is amazing and so are his Dreads haha
What a joyful video to watch. Thank you Peter and Nigel for all the things you taught us.
The greatest masters are those who never stop being disciples. Peter Chan is one of them.
Thats more profound than Confucius!
I have been so looking forward to this. Two great TH-cam bonsai inspirations from different continents coming together. Magical. 😊✨🌟💫
Yeah, never thought i'd see the day!
just amazing!! two humble individuals with the same passion from different sides of the world. so similar in their teachings and views on the art of bonsai. and yes everything has a spirit!!
Awesome!!! my two favorite TH-cam bonsai characters!!! Thank you for making this happen!!!
❤ Very cool to see two inspiring people together in one video!
Peter touring Nigels garden is just what I needed!
That was worth the wait! Also worth it’s weight in gold! You two are very inspiring to a young bonsai pup like me. Thank you both!
🌲🌳
Im watching you and also Nigels channel for many, many years and it's so awesome to see you together. You and Nigel sucefully inspired me to start with Bonsai. Thanks, guys, for all your work.
