Our NYS Nursery & Landscape Association received a letter on March 24, 2020 from the NYS Dept. of Agriculture & Market stating: “For the purposes of Executive Order 202.6/PAUSE, (Gov. Cuomo,) “Essential Business” states “Agriculture/farms,” which includes the horticulture industry. As outlined in “Agriculture & Markets Law Article 25AA Section 301, horticulture is a key component of agriculture and New Work State farms.”

Well, that includes bonsai nurseries in NYS.

All privately-owned facilities must practice social distancing and proper cleaning and sanitizing of the facility. That means that the International Bonsai Arboretum is OPEN for business, not workshops. However the proprietor, me, is still is isolation for another few days until April 1. Kindly phone for an appointment. Classes and workshops have NOT resumed. I can’t figure out how to help a student six feet away….. YET. But when we do Diane has face shields and hand sanitizer for all

Our Seedling & Pre-bonsai are still available and are still shipping. Check it out below, you may find something interesting to add to your collection:

A seven-foot whip might do the trick!
