Hi,

I’m   Sebastian from  Poland ( southern part ).

It’s a great pleasure to join a group of Japanese gardening enthusiasts from whole world.

My passion is a Japanese Garden and the plants deriving from far EAST.

I’m the owner of ornamental plants nursery in third generation, so I produce and sell decorative plants to other people. ( conifers, deciduous and “rhododendron group” plants and of course Japanese maples, jap azaleas, niwaki pine trees etc, etc.

I collect Japanese maple ( mostly acer palmatum, shirasavanum, japonicum ) and japanese dwarf azaleas  ( about 30 varieties coming from my own production)

I have found Japanese gardens interesting during my trip to some bonsai nursery in Czech Republic many years ago and so it started….  ( books, articles, movies, dvd… ) ?  fully  infected  by  Japan ?


Few years ago I have decided to join my business with my passion and build a tea house pavilion surrounded by garden.
Garden design, rocks setting and planting are my own but the garden is still under construction…
( about  60 % of accomplishment ), each year I try to make some new part of that garden after gathering some suitable rocks, plants and money ?  )… I have one rule in gardening… NO RUSH …

I have harsh, frosty winters, about –25’C / –27’C so many Japanese plants  in my garden are tested by the Greater Judge… Nature ?  ( spring time  throwing away dead ones often happens ) 

I’m want to learn more about Japanese gardens…. So I travel and listen wiser and more experienced people which want  to share their knowledge with younger generation. 

( sorry for my english... )

Regards,
Sebastian, Poland

Hi Sebastian... Do you have some trees for sale ? Can you manage export from Poland to Norway with documents of safe food authority?? I am going to buy next spring about 4-5 trained or "NIWAKI" trees and just looking around the Europe, where can I get trees which survive norwegian clima / -30C about 3-4 months a year../

Thank you for info.. Best regards and good luck with your beautiful garden

All the best Ales, Norway
