This past week I was in Gardena briefly, and had been reading about a nursery out there that other bonsai artists had been raving about. Chikugo-En nursery is nicely tucked between buildings off Western, and I was greeted by an extra large Akita, which didn’t seem happy to see any strangers.

Here are some photos, they man (whom I forgot his name) seemed pretty friendly, and as I spoke with him found out that many of his junipers are grafted, especially the Shimpaku’s. This nursery has the biggest selection of shimpaku’s I have ever seen.
