Where to Start with Peter Chan

Peter Chan is a bonsai artist, author, and nurseryman who founded Herons Bonsai in 1986, which has grown into the UK’s premier bonsai nursery. He has achieved a record tally of 21 Gold Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show for his bonsai displays, making him one of the most decorated bonsai practitioners in Britain. Chan has written six bestselling books on bonsai, all grounded in decades of practical experience growing and styling trees commercially. His writing is thorough and encyclopedic, aimed at giving readers a complete reference they can return to for years. He is particularly strong on species-specific care, drawing on his nursery’s extensive collection.
