Hey there! Thanks for stopping by to find more about Barnsley Bonsai. Up here in the north of England, Bonsai trees aren't as popular, so I decided to create Barnsley Bonsai as a way to connect with fellow enthusiasts like you and share my love for these incredible trees. 

My journey with Bonsai started when I received a stunning Japanese Maple Acer as a gift, and I was instantly captivated! Now, I have a collection of 19 trees, each with their own special traits and challenges. 

It's been a joyous and fulfilling experience getting to know each tree and watching them thrive and grow. I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and experiences with you, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or simply want to chat about Bonsai! I'll be covering the basics like tools and materials, sharing my favorite websites and books, documenting the progress of my own trees, and using Barnsley Bonsai's Facebook and X accounts to share helpful links and videos.

My goal is to make starting out easier for you, so you feel more prepared for whatever comes your way. This is all new to me, but I'm incredibly excited to dive in. Please be kind and patient as I get everything up and running. If you have any ideas or want to share your own experiences, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Let's grow together!
