Lodder Bonsai open weekend 2025

This is our annual trip to Lodders Bonsai open weekend which coincides with their new imports for this year.

The shear number and variety of bonsai on offer is mind boggling and he still had two containers to come, Gerrit also invites other people associated with bonsai to put up a stand in their loading bay where you will find several potters, scroll suppliers, carving tools, sushi, bronzes amongst other Japanese themed products.

It attracts large numbers of Bonsai enthusiasts and on Saturday there was three coaches parked up which made it amusing watching the loading up as people took advantage of the space.

I say this many times if you get this experience you keep coming back we do and it is brilliant.

I took just some general views of his main greenhouse before the public came in, he has a greenhouse devoted to tropicals, and another overspill/quarantine greenhouse.

The photos are just a snippet of what he has which includes an area devoted to pots and soils.
