October 2002 -Tim Vivoda shares his knowledge on...just about everything!
Tim Vivoda came to Bonsai Northwest from his wholesale Bonsai nursery in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges. Tim brought many trees and stock with him and shared his knowledge of grafting, growing, seed raising and getting large cuttings to take root. Not only that, but Tim kindly gave everyone gifts of seed, trays and perlite etc.
