Complete list created by the Bonsai Society of Portland of all known bonsai nurseries and suppliers in central and northern Oregon.
Two of our favorites we like to support:
A small family nursery growing future bonsai. We focus on producing starts and pre-bonsai that are suitable for creating show quality material in the future. Our commitment is to provide the bonsai community with top tier materials and set people up for success. John apprenticed under Michael Hagedorn for 2 years to ensure that he had a good eye for finest material. He has been working hard to reverse engineer those trees to create material that can one day stand on similar footing. Farm visits available upon request. (Updated 09/25/22)
