Bonsai Plaza Open Days 2026
This spring, Bonsai Plaza turns 27 — a modest milestone we are pleased to share with you.
Date/Time:
Saturday 28 March 2026, 08:00–16:00
Sunday 29 March 2026, 11:00–16:00
Location:
Omloop 4, Boskoop, Netherlands
What to expect:
- Saturday — Mario Komsta at work
Mario is an internationally renowned bonsai artist and teacher, known for his clear approach to structure and refinement. He will be working throughout the day on selected trees from the Bonsai Plaza collection: wiring, refinement and detail work, with a sharp eye for structure, nebari and long-term development. You are welcome to watch up close — and to ask him any bonsai-related questions. - Sunday — Instructive nursery walks with Danny Use (Bonsai Center Ginkgo)
Danny is a pioneer in the European bonsai world, with more than forty years of professional bonsai experience. As the driving force behind Bonsai Center Ginkgo, he is known for his keen eye for quality material and his practical, down-to-earth advice. He will guide you along the trees and discuss what serious enthusiasts want to know: character, quality, potential, design direction and refinement.
If you have a tree in mind, you can also ask him for purchase advice and a clear next-steps plan. - New arrivals from Japan and Korea (over 5,000 new bonsai): an exceptionally broad and deep selection in the familiar Bonsai Plaza line — from refined material to trees with clear future potential, in a range of sizes and styles. At this time of year, the new season’s arrivals can be viewed all at once, so you can take your time to look, compare and assess nebari, movement, branching, health and development direction.
- New hand-crafted pots by Japanese ceramicists: a wide arrival with great variety in shape, size and presence — from subtle, quiet glazes to pots with characterful patina. Ideal for creating a pairing that doesn’t just “fit”, but truly supports the story of the tree.
- A careful selection of Japanese garden trees
- Decorative stones, stepping stones and lanterns — chosen for balance and material quality
- Personal guidance on placement, styling and repotting timing; considerate in-nursery offers
Free entry; no registration required.
You are most welcome.
