Looks like a great show Nigel. So, you have finally met the Mr. Chan! I think what Peter said about how something simple like bonsai can bring so much comfort and solace to people is very true! I also like how he gives Nigel a shout out too as a great influencer.
His philosophy is absolutely true when he says follow your own path. Don't worry about what others do, just do what you want to do and enjoy it. That's all that matters. Be an original and not a copy, as they say.
Happy growing everyone!

The frustration when that guy appears and stands in the way with his mobile phone out...aaargghh!
They are making a video too!!
Goodness! So excited. I’ve been waiting for this video. Wish I could’ve made the trip from Buffalo
Hope you enjoyed it!
Two of my favorite Bonsai CZcams personalities! Exquisite!
Wow, thank you!
I saw the short video on Peter's channel about him visiting Canada, so I was looking forward to you guys meeting. Maybe someday you can visit his nursery in England, too. Great 1st part!
I'll be heading to the UK this fall!!
@@TheBonsaiZone Sounds fantastic!

💚💚💚🌴🪴
Best anime crossover.
Don’t worry Nigel, I haven’t had a hair cut in over 3 years🤣😂 it falls out on it’s own😂
Lol!!!
Great stuff but very difficult to hear Peter speaking
Pity the projections on the big screen don't show up...
kinda hard to understand Peter with the echo and you've got people filming in front of you half the time. really hope you have some footage to share of you and peter working/discussing, etc
It was the best I could do!
@@TheBonsaiZone I know! Just was really hoping to see you and Peter together. Still cool to hear him talk about meeting you and then mentioning you. That's gotta be pretty special
Foist
The mask distracted me no need to wear one at this stage
It's a personal choice, some people are vulnerable. No need to comment about them at this point.
