Welcome to Victory Bonsai Nursery. A little background first on who and what we are and where we are going…
My name is John Howle and I have been into Bonsai for about 47 years this spring of 2022 minus a stint as a Construction Manager for the Government. Now ! Retired (Far Out) we have started our old Bonsai Business up again. Our old Bonsai Business was called Black Pines Nursery and open from 1986 to 2003.

Looks like I ate the apex of this cake tree.
As I said My wife and I are retired and run this Backyard Bonsai Nursery for fun more than anything else. We are not going to empty your pockets (unless you’re not looking). We grow liner stock to make Bonsai starter material and pass it on hopefully a a fair price. See our Availability for materials that we grow. We plan to open this spring on April 1st. 2022. Unfortunately we need to be open by appointment only at this time. Just call, text or email us. Go to the contact page for more info. We plan to do classes during the spring and possibly classes for tropical plants in the summer. Let’s see how things go.
What can we do you for?
Well for starters, we can provide you with all the info that you could possible need for your hobby. This is a hobby art form that you can practice all your life and still learn new things. It doesn’t get boring. In fact it’s possible to rethink things that you learned 40 years ago and change your practices.
We (my wife and I) plan to teach classes this spring through early summer and possibly tropical classes in the summer. Check our site for upcoming events.
Check our Availability to see what we have in stock. We do both sides of the Bonsai spectrum. We grow little guys into big ones And trim down big ones into little guys.
Sometimes you just need to hang out with friends with a cup of coffee and talk shop. That’s also welcome here.
Whats happening ?
Keep checking our web site for upcoming events. You can also check out our local Bonsai Club for class schedules, such as guest speakers, collecting trips or just plain working on trees with friends. Membership is 25 dollars and well worth it.
