In the inaugural episode of the Bonsai Bonsai Time Podcast, Kevin and I interviewed my bonsai teacher, Dan Robinson. Dan has had a long career in bonsai where he has assumed many roles. He was a founding member of the Puget Sound Bonsai Association, a pioneer in collecting American native yamadori, a trail-blazer in naturalistic bonsai, a lifelong acolyte of ancient trees, the creator of Elandan Gardens in Bremerton, WA, and the subject of the book Gnarly Branches, Ancient Trees by Will Hiltz. This history of Dan's life in bonsai and more is the subject of this interview.
See you in the next episode!
