An Introduction to the Whispering Bonsai Gardener...
Episode 1 - This is for folk interested in bonsai tree keeping, but taking a very down to earth approach....!
Episode 2 - This is the second of 6 videos looking at bonsai trees I've acquired as a result of searching my own garden & garden centre nursery stock.
My knowledge is purely accumulated from watching Peter Chan's Heron Bonsai videos & home experimentation!
Episode 3 - A humourous look at bonsai growing from the layman's viewpoint.
Is it a birch tree ?? Is it a variety of elm ?? Either way it has come from an interesting source...!
Episode 4 - A purely home grown bonsai
- with no effort or method - this philodelphus merely ended up like this through not liking its original location ! Another tongue-in-cheek look at the art of bonsai through the eyes of ordinary bloke!
Episode 5 - The 'Chamaecyparis' bonsai
...a brief look at a home created bonsai from a garden centre shrub. Tim Jenks is a Wolverhampton blues guitarist who enjoys the challenging of creating bonsai from household garden plants. This is not meant to be a serious look at how to be a bonsai 'ninja'..!
Episode 6 - The mystery bonsai tree...!
A tree rescued from under a privet hedge....Is it beech ?? Who knows until the leaves come out ! Tim Jenks looks at his latest acquisition - bonsai found down the garden !

Occasionally you may suffer disappointment - not every experiment works out well!
