Nigel, thanks fot taking the time from Bonsai to explain more of your hobby and RUclips career. It was nice to get to know you more on a personal level. Thanks for all your encouraging videos.
This was a great interview thankyou Izabela and Nigel, i enjoyed the perspective on life and how important it is to commit to the care of your tree's. Those flu days really are difficult i must agree.
Great interview Izabela, thanks to Nigel for giving us a peek behind the curtain at the infamous Bonsai Zone. I'm eager to get my very own Izabela pot soon as well, I love your work and your authenticity, thank you!
Really great discussion it’s truly amazing how something as simple as a plant in a pot can bring so many people together and bring so much joy and happiness
It takes a specific individual to be attracted to bonsai, it's a forge of character, as Nigel said: bonsai trains us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
Great interview; good questions and good chemistry between you two. Nigel has so much to say that I'm sure you can do part 2, part 3 etc when it suits you. I also loved bringing more of a beginner's perspective to the scene. I'm hoping you can revisit the Thuja you pruned later in the season when it has grown and it is showing where it wants to go.👍
Thank you Lisa, it was a fun experience to try something new and we were getting warmed up, seems like we could've gone even deeper. Maybe we'll show the tree again, either here on my channel or when Nigel comes to visit. I'm curious to see how it will grow this season too!
I agree. There are those who wish to share light and live for the betterment of others and there are those who are selfish. Jesus bless all your viewers.
Great interview on what the essence in Life is, although that is also different in some way for each individual. I think this interview also gives us some insight in the beautiful mind of Nigel. I am myself a rather introvert person and enjoy to delve into deep thoughts not only my own but of others too. Izabela seem to be equally a wonderful and person and generate good vibes thru the screen and voice. Thanks Izabela, cheers from Sweden.
Sweden, that's so cool! Thank you for sharing, I also enjoy exploring deep thoughts and having meaningful conversations with people. It's a wonderful gift to be able to have them for me as I was very shy and introverted my whole life. Now I'm learning to speak my mind more and I'm enjoying it very much.
Thank you, MrMikey. I worked on my interview skills since then feeling like this video was very unrefined. Honestly, I should have just let Nigel talk, he's a natural!
thank you!! I enjoyed this so much. Such a lovely chat. What does the kanji mean in the title? I am re-studying Japanese ( I was almost fluent speaking back in the 1980s) and want to learn. Arigato Gozaimasu.
Thank you Diana, I'm glad to hear it, we enjoyed ourselves chatting and I'm glad it can bring joy to others. The characters are chinese 盆景- bonsai and 性格- disposition, temperament, character. It is to show how bonsai shapes us, our character through the action of caring for it. That's awesome that you're studying Japanese a d was fluent in it, wow! I'm learning chinese caligraphy and really enjoy it too
Great interview 👌,if you are looking for a great roll model , Nigel is the person! I started watching Nigel in 2018 when lovely wife bought be a set of bonsai tools . I had always grown trees in pots , and still do , but essentially just that ; trees in pots . I will never have anything as good as Nigel for the time I have left . I wish I had found him 20 years ago when I needed to slow down and have a good hobby to remove me from the world . I think it’s not stretching the idea of a legend , but Nigel definitely fits the bill
When I started, I felt like the best time to start would be a few decades ago. But we can enjoy taking care of the trees and the process. When I started 3 years ago, the world was in such a state I wasn't sure if I had 3 years. Now it's been 3 amazing years watching the buds form and tree responding to my actions, repotting, etc. It's such an enjoyable hobby. Thank you for sharing, Peter
@snox7320 i appreciate sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately there's no way for me to change it now, but I'll keep it in mind for the next edit. I'm self taught amateur and to me it sounded cool with the music, but some people found it difficult to listen to. There's always so much to learn in video editing! Maybe you'd like to watch it with subtitles only? I do that sometimes when I find the sound not appealing to me. Thank you for stopping by and commenting
Thanks Izabela for this intimate interview with Nigel. I truly respect what you both do, and I wish one day to meet you!
You're welcome Stefano, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Perhaps we'll meet in person one day, that would be so lovely
Thanks Izabela, it was great talking about life, art and happiness!

Couldnt bring myself to watch this due to the background music 😮
No worries, thank you for letting me know
@@gaeangardensbyizabela i just wanted to share my.thoughts . I found it very distracting .

@@gaeangardensbyizabela I think it's ace people take there own time to do RUclips stuff . And guess those that do it are always learning .
