Large Bonsai at RHS Wisley
In this video we take a walk around the sponsored bonsai garden at Wisley’s Royal Horticultural Society centre. Peter Chan and his wife have been proud RHS sponsors since 1997. Herons have donated twenty-four bonsai trees for display at RHS wisely. More than half of these trees have been hand created at Herons, by Peter himself.
The display houses a vast array of bonsai specimen, showcasing many unique tree styles from various species.
Dawn and Peter Chan first founded the Herons nursery over 30 years ago in 1986. Today the nursery is a seven and a half acre bonsai haven home to a huge range of beautiful bonsai trees. Herons has been named Britain’s Premier bonsai nursery and has become the no.1 bonsai centre for bonsai enthusiast across Britain. Peter Chan is one of the most respected and renowned bonsai specialists in his field. Chan’s interest in bonsai began in 1967. By the mid 70’s Chan had developed a true passion for bonsai, which would later earn him his first RHS gold medal at the Chelsea flower show in 1982. Today, Chan’s RHS gold medal collection is at a record 21. Chan is also the commended author of nine successful bonsai books, and of course, a devoted senior member of the Herons Bonsai team.
