    About 8 years ago I was visiting the bay area and I took a day trip to Oakland. I accidentally wandered into the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt. It is truly an amazing place! The trees are astonishing! The weird thing is that nobody was there. I was completely alone. I didn't see any staff anywhere! I stayed for about an hour, walking around and taking pictures. Truly remarkable place and I hope to return again one day.

    Janet, you are as special as the bonsai you oversee :) Thank you, to all involved, for this tour. Also, the watering system for the trees on display is a work of art in itself.

    Thank you Jason for enabling those of us on the other side of the US to experience these wonderful bonsai gardens in California. What a labor of dedication by so many over so many years. They have a great curator and teacher in Kathy Shaner.

    Those are very nice misters/sprinkler heads and irrigation system. What brand/kind are those? I’m currently renovating my entire yard with new pebbles/gravel and also a new (generic and common) soak/drip-irrigation system... but I think those mister heads would be way better.

      Touch the soil, does it feel dry often? Yellow leaves with black spots might be from lack of water

      Definitely. It probably needs it. However, I do know some artists that never repot their trees and their trees have a lot of character. It's up to you! -Jason

    “This irrigation uses 1/3 of the water as drip irrigation.” Also her.....this way the water doesn’t get to the soil though.”

    • @MD-wk3gj
      @MD-wk3gj 4 года назад

      Precious Metal Head as I understood her the ones on top spray the foliage and those don’t really water the roots but that’s why they have the lower, more focused spouts.
      Like most automatic systems some additional personal hands on watering is ideal.
      A beautiful display of that size would be impossible to do any other way so I commend their brilliant work.

    Wait didn't Bonsai originate from China why is it then a bonsai garden is called a Japanese garden, interesting. Just for thought don't want to start a debate on the topic but feel free to comment

    • @ToWatchMusic
      @ToWatchMusic 6 лет назад

      Fairly certain the concept of a tree in a small pot was Japanese. They took the idea off the Chinese who made miniature landscapes out of live tree and objects. Japanese just condensed the idea of landscape (much like warhammer 4000 and other roleplayers) to just a tree in a pot.

    • @janetnelson9191
      @janetnelson9191 6 лет назад

    It makes me sad seeing those ugly sprinklers above and beside the bonsai trees. Real bonsai enthusiasts will always hand water each bonsai and at the same time inspect each tree.
