Watched a bit of the repot for this on insta today... that was fun!
Great tree, looking forward to seeing it wired and styled.
Thanks for stopping by! Feedback on the Instagram hangout is very welcomed.
I’m trying to provide a low key, approachable perspective to bonsai while holding space for the regional bonsai community. I’m not trying to be the best, most impressive, or highest production value in this setup. Maybe the most concise goal is to demonstrate the approachable, welcoming, and non-pretentious Pacific Northwest bonsai culture. (At least, the form of that which lives in my head.)
I understand it’s a bit slow paced overall and don’t expect people will sit, rapt with attention for a full hour (or even 20 minutes).
So far I’ve been surprised by how many Australians and Brazilians pop in to watch. I like that it’s an opportunity to represent Portland’s commitment to transparency in materials and process, plus our uniquely well situated climate and how that impacts our horticulture.
I’m pleased that we have some regulars from smaller regional clubs stopping by. I want BSOP to be like a big sibling to them.
