The Gardens also hold the National Bonsai collection. These wonderful trees are set out in a Japanese style courtyard, but unfortunately because they are so valuable they are behind bars!
The secure courtyard houses a display of about 25 bonsai trees of various styles, loaned to the collection by the members of the FNBC on a rotating basis. By this system, many of the outstanding bonsai specimens in the country may be seen from time to time.
The Garden is described as a Courtyard Garden or ‘tsubo-niwa’ (garden between buildings), and was built with the help of members of the Japanese Garden Society. It contains elements of several styles, whilst also recognising that the garden is an important route between buildings to the National Bonsai Collection housed in its own courtyard. The space can also be viewed through a large moon window from the Tropical House.
