The Bonsai Garden of Bill Valavanis - Greenwood Bonsai

In this video Corin gives us a tour of Bills garden at the International Bonsai Arboretum in Rochester, New York. Corin had been over in America with Sean Smith for his open house at Three Mountains Bonsai School, whilst he was in America he payed a visit Bill Valavanis and managed to capture a quick garden tour before he travelled back to the uk.
Bill has been cultivating bonsai for many years and the variety of specimens he has are simply beautiful to see.

Safe travels.

I appreciate what Bill has done for bonsai in America over the last several decades.
Over the last few years I've ordered a few rare bonsai starters from his catalogue, but in early 2023 my purchase was never processed and tried contacting for just a simple explanation. I never received a response, and for THAT simple reason I likely will never order again.
Sure was nice to see where my 'Koto Hime' originated though. Nice tour. 👍🏽

Wonderful Work

[@antonisanagnostopoulos4809]

Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing. I must come and visit. Just started in the bonsai hobby. Always love it but too scared to even consider trying. Now trying and looking forward to hopefully meeting you William. Corin UK a touch to far. Also great work sir! The pair of you!

[@astounded]

Absolutely stunning from top to bottom, everything: grounds, gardens, benches, the melding of nature and culture expressed through the art of bonsai. What struck me particularly is that it is all unforced, without pretense or artifice. The labor to create and maintain it all shows up as love, dedication, and an unceasing effort to make the best world possible, not only for the trees, but also for those who are drawn to wonder and marvel at their beauty. What a gift!

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Couldn't agree more!

[@9daywonda]

Some nice bonsai there man.

[@erichraudebaugh]

Thanks Corin. I didn't realize that Bill's garden had so many new trees in it.

[@raymondbirds2392]

Lovely job

[@hansudogrull8493]

[@joegarland4885]

Amazing Corin a few trees there I am sure you would like to own, but no chance of that happening. Thanks for the tour.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

I would love to own some , if only I could get them to the UK

[@Chris-oq6kn]

What a great collection! I hope he hosts another show next year and has his house open to the public again. Soo nice of him to do that. I feel like i have to buy a tree from him😂. It was worth the troop up there for the show. If you hear anything about him doing another show next year let us know

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

yes National exhibition 2025 is happening

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@greenwoodbonsaistudio thanks for the info. I missed going to his house last time so hopefully it will be open again

[@bonsaisuiseki3389]

No other bonsai nursey in the U.S.A. has Bonsai like this with, 40 to 60 or even longer years of Mochikomi!

[@bonsai_life_style]

That sumo Ginko must be mega old . I'm making few branches for last 4 years.

[@BR1NNA]

Lovely to see Bill Valavanis' Arboretum .
Excuse my ignorance, but what is RAF please. I assume it's not connected with the Royal Air Force?

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

No, I think it was from another arboretum, a witch's broom, naturally occurring, I'll find out

[@brucedeacon28]
