I know you love your cameras, Borjn. Whatever you used here, was perfect. This could be a Netflix documentary. Great work my man! Also, thank you for letting us in on this collection! I am a little too far to maybe go see these trees at the garden. Amazing trees! I’m really happy that the pandemic kind of introduced bonsai to more people and young people, especially.

bjorn really enjoying his new cannon and lens hahaha

Thanks to Jim for letting us see his collection.

Thank you for coming down to the garden. It was a blast.

Birmingham is only an hour away!

This has me excited

Great filming and content

Waw beautiful garden with grea trees 😍👏👏👏

Amazing bonsai collection

How fortunate for Birmingham and surrounds to have this 1st class collection so close. It has it all, world class trees, meticulous care, generous benefactors; a must see in, or if close to, Birmingham. Thank you. 🪴

Looks like a beautiful place.

Thanks for sharing this! Mr McLanes trident maples and Japanese maples are stunning. That the Aldridge Botanical Gardens were created in memory of a friend and practitioner of bonsai make them beautiful in spirit, as well as beautiful to look at.

beautiful, thanks for sharing hopefully I can visit this place some day from PA.

Wow Amazing collection- thanks for sharing 😊

Beautiful presentation with amazing trees. Thanks you!

Great lessons in patience. Thank you for posting this!

Bjorn thank you for sharing this beautiful video about this wonderful garden with many fantastic bonsai!👍👍👍

Very cool!!

thank you

Woah! That is a spectacular collection.

Thanks for the info. I used to live in Pinson about 30 years ago. Beautiful iron stone to be found out in wild also !

It’s amazing for us bonsai enthusiasts to get this great stories about how this trees where created and where they came from, great story and great collection, thanks for sharing it with us..

This video inspired me to make a trip to the garden. I live 15-20 minutes away. The bonsai in the video hadn’t been changed out and they were stunning. Best examples I’ve seen since visiting saitama in 2017.

Thank you Bjorn! Hopefully I'll be able to pay them a visit. Then someday create my own wherever I end up.

Awesomely bonsailicious. Thanks for sharing.

Dude, the cultural dichotomy here got me so stoked about bonsai again. Love what you do ✌️

John great to see you on Japan tour w Bjorn. You have built a fantastic experience for folks at Aldridge Botanical Gardens !!

Amazing, but a way expensive and rich collection.

Few people are wealthy enough to be able to buy and import fully styled trees from Japan. In a way I think that's cheating. Better to start with nursery stock or a tree collected from Nature and shape and develop it on your own.

​@@danielkosta3134 Sure, you could look at it as cheating...But a good portion of his collection he has grown. Are all of your trees grown by you from seed, layering or cutting? Would buying an aged, but not styled tree from home depot be considered cheating as well? Even that cuts years out of bonsai development.

@@t3dwards13 several of the trees in this video were purchased from Japan as fully styled and developed trees. One was mentioned even having been exhibited in the kokofu competition. All of my trees came either from general landscape nursery stock or are trees collected from Nature by professional collectors. All of these trees were designed, shaped, and developed by me, not by anyone else.

@@danielkosta3134who gives a shit. Calm down. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. That’s like saying someone who buys a painting is cheating because they didnt paint it themselves. It’s asinine

Fantastic video, thanks Borjn, I’d love to see more of the trees

Espetacular!

Hermoso el lugar. Bonito trabajo. Gracias

A beautiful collection, a beautiful film. From the studio of Mr. Fujikawa, to this production, you constantly soar to the next level. Greetings from Poland - Chopin's homeland.

Amazing video. Very inspirational. I was about a year into bonsai when covid hit . And to look at the positive side of things covid gave me BONSAI. I also started reading books which ive never done in my life.I watched soo many videos to keep myself calm and sit down and learn i couldnt ask for a better hobby right now and hopefully ill take this art form to the grave.

Wow what a collection!!!

It's look's like a paradise!

Que lugar tan singular, una maravilla ❤

Love this man, The world needs more Craig Allen Meyer, Jim McLean and Rita Aldridge's.

Hello friend. thanks for sharing!❤

So nice! I've just had some drainage pits poured behind my house and they added a darker grey colour dye to the mix to match the retaining wall. I wonder if it'd look better to do the same with the cement fill in that trident maple? Match the rock a bit more?

Insanity! Such an impressive private collection

wow ang ganda naman po ng bonsai na yan. ang ganda ng pagkakagawa

Wtf is this camera quality. Just beautiful.

Thankyou our master❤❤❤

amazing work

Extraordinária coleção! De um capricho ímpar! Parabéns a Eisei-en e, aos proprietários da coleção!

Very cool! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll see if I can make time to stop! I missed my opportunity early spring to meet you when Mark Fields came down.

Espetacular!

Saw your video of I watch a lot of videos trying trying to learn a lot about bonza and I wish they had a lot of more banzai banzai society in my area in North Carolina doing a great job

Estraordynario!!!

I’m so excited about this! I’ve been doing bonsai on and of for 30 years. I’m still a novice! I didn’t know about Aldridge! I live in Pinson and am so happy y’all are so close.

For the life of me I can't figure out what you said at 8:16 did you say seemen in there?

Bjorn, do you have a list of all the bonsai gardens in the US? I am from California an we have a few. Clark, lake Merritt, filoli gardens, Huntington gardens, San Diego zoo. These are the one I am aware of.

Bjorn, what was the catalog he showed around timecode 9:43, and how can I secure that?

👍👌🙂
