The Portland Bonsai Village Tours continue…
…even without a Village website! (Thanks so much for your patience…) Here are a few photos of Bob, Paula, Carmen, and Renee’s visit to the Village earlier this month. They are all from California and took a full day tour here in Portland visiting Ryan Neil and me. These photos are courtesy Greg Brenden, our tour guide:

Let us know if you visit! Then you can see Ryan’s tree in person-
Hi Michael
How far are you from the ocean, and what’s your elevation. The reason I ask is I live on the coast and am trying to compare climates. By the look at your maples we are within a week or two.
Great trees Michael

Portland is about 70 miles from the coast, and I’m at about 100 feet, roughly. We get a consistently cool winter and a sunny summer.
Good times! 😉
Ya! ‘Twas-
Michael, thank you for organizing our bonsai tour. It was an awesome, inspiring day. Greg was the perfect guide, and the restaurant you chose for lunch was wonderful. I highly recommend the experience, and only wish we could have crammed another artist into the day. Next time!

Man I would love to go on one of these tours at some point, they look fantastic and I’m sure I could learn a few things!
Just let me know whenever you get out our way, call or email and we’ll set something up!
