Great Lakes Bonsai - content thread

Looks fabulous! You’re well organized and recognize when experienced hands are needed….makes for a superior finish and well-constructed results. Your project-planning and location-planning are well thought-out. Mighty fine for sure!

I’m guessing….just guessing…..you’ll need an expansion addition and extra room one of these days. It just happens.

Don't tell my wife about the need for an extension I had considered connecting a greenhouse off the west side someday!

What a lovely backyard and a fun project! I'd recommended picking up a copy of Ishimoto's "The Art of the Japanese Garden" for some inspiration and ideas. I got a used copy on Amazon for a few bucks. Even if you're not looking to create a Japanese garden, per se, I still got a lot of ideas for a space that I'm designing to primarily hold bonsai. I can't wait to see what else you do with your space.

Thank you for the recommendation / encouragement - googling the book now!

Fired off another video. Fraser for making some moves with deadwood and power tools which I normally don’t use. I’ve got a thread out there from when I purchased it and will have to update with photos etc. cheers.

Very nice video, trees, and new garden space. Gonna look awesome when you get the benches in, and some shade back. Like everyone else I love the DRW forest.

This winter needs to be bench build planning for sure thanks for watching! Any opinions on a little more undulation for the DRW? Planning to add a little for repot next year.

I'm not the best at giving design advice but I think a little sloping would look way better than the flat ground.
