Our story
Discover the roots of Bonsai of Gresham, a family-run passion project dedicated to bringing quality bonsai and supplies to enthusiasts nationwide. Learn about our journey, our commitment, and what makes us unique.
Our Bonsai store does not offer store pick up of the plants or products at this time. On rare occasions we have been known to set up a meeting place in Gresham to hand off the purchased product for customers that live in the Portland Metropolitan area.
What makes us special?
Bonsai of Gresham is more than just an online store; it's a family-run passion project led by Brian and Rayland. Unlike traditional shops, we operate as a specialized nursery, ensuring enthusiasts receive quality materials through careful and reliable shipping.
Our selection includes:
- Conifers: Japanese Black Pine, Mugo Pine, Scotch Pine, and various Junipers.
- Deciduous & Flowering: Japanese Maples and Azaleas.
- Indoor, Tropicals & Succulents: Specialized indoor-friendly varieties, including Norfolk Island Pines and succulents like the Desert Rose.
We also offer a wide range of pottery, from authentic Yixing purple clay to practical plastic training trays. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, we're here to ship the best of Gresham to your home.
Our story: The first moment
Our journey began with a simple step into the art of bonsai. After purchasing a couple of trees online, I (Brian) decided to try creating one myself using a few junipers. Rayland, then eight and a half, watched and asked to try. He pruned his own juniper, and it turned out surprisingly well!
He asked if we could sell them, and that simple moment of shared creativity marked the birth of Bonsai of Gresham. We've since grown into a dedicated family business, shipping trees and supplies to fellow enthusiasts eager to experience their own "first moment."
More than just a bonsai
When you choose Bonsai of Gresham, you're not just buying a plant; you're joining a community of passionate enthusiasts and those that are new to the Bonsai world. You're experiencing the joy of nurturing a living art form and supporting a family dedicated to quality and service.
You'll feel the satisfaction of creating your own "first moment," and the pride of owning a piece of living art that grows more beautiful with time. You'll know that you've chosen a reliable supplier that cares about your bonsai journey as much as you do.
"The quality of the bonsai I received was exceptional. It was carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. You can tell they genuinely care about their trees."
Happy Bonsai Enthusiast
