Do you have any Bonsai Goals?

[Ron Dennis]

Alex, I'm so much closer to Brian that I will graciously save you the trip and take them myself

Not so fast! I am very close also! Brian will have a "bidding war" going on. I can see him now saying "oh, yeah".

Yes that is what happened. We went to our first workshop together and I haven't looked back since. I love this hobby. He went to college and is not living at home. Kinda hard to keep a bonsai alive in a college dorm.

I know.
I wish we could all meet and have a bonsai nut convention.
It would be great fun.

Oddly I am going to be in Des Moines sometimes in May. I have family there. I always bring a tree or two with me to work on.

That's where my Thuja rock planting came from...His name is Dave I believe if not mistaken. An amazing man who offered up valuable information to me when I was just starting out...instead of selling me material. He talked me out of it...and helped me tweak my set up. I was impressed.

It is Dave Lowman, DaSu. No Su(e) anymore. My first trees and lessons were from Dave in 1994 when he was Dave's Aquariums and Greenhouse...which he called "the swamp". Nice Japanse maples growing in the swamp, a hoop house, over an 8' deep concrete lined pit with a rickety ladder leading down to it. It always had about 3" of water on the bottom, and the trees were floating on pallets. I always thought if he wanted to kill someone, nobody would ever find a body.

Here is the website for you.
I think you may want to set up an appointment to view his set up but it's worth a visit.

I had no idea he was into aquariums in the past. Hmm.
