Bonsai Akira
I started Bonsai Akira in my garden studio in the summer of 2015 to promote the practice of bonsai with species we grow in our Pacific Northwest gardens. From lilacs to conifers, Hinoki cypress to viburnums, winterhazel to Japanese maples; the trees bring four seasons to the garden or patio. Summer blooms, winter branches against the sky, spring fragrance, fall colors as leaves change; all are represented in a wide variety of deciduous and evergreen trees in miniature. (Updated 10/14/22)

Hackenbruck, Tony
Tony Hackenbruck has been a gardener and potter in Portland for 40 years. His garden in the Sunnyside neighborhood of southeast Portland is full of pots, tile installations and ornaments. The garden is listed with the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon and is open in May, June and July. Having found friends in the Bonsai Society, Tony has enjoyed making larger pots to specifications and has begun exploring the transitional forms. Firing six to eight kilns a year, there is often new work to see. (10/14/22)

Left Coast Bonsai
We are 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)
