Everything I've heard is they sold everything and closed a few years ago.

An article from 2017 about the Monastery. From searching around, though, appears to me they're not selling any bonsai related stuff anymore. The Monastery Store mentioned in the article doesn't appear to have bonsai stuff any more. Sad, as I used to get some pretty nice Tokoname pots from them back in the 90's.

They were great. Had reasonable prices too. For the last few years before they closed they had a woman who volunteered her time just to keep it open.

the whole monastery shut down? or just their bonsai operation?

Just the Bonsai operation. The garden center and the rest of the Monastery is still open. I don't think they sell pots anymore but the bonsai exhibit is still there. The trees are probably tucked away until spring though.
