Amassed over two decades, Hennie’s bonsai collection is a local tourist attraction in the Tzaneen area and highlights the best of his personal collection. Please note that tours need to be booked in advance.
The variety of species in Hennie’s Garden, endemic and exotic, just shows how many kinds of trees can be made into bonsai. It is a common misconception that there are 'bonsai tree species'. Most trees with medium to small leaves can be trained into bonsai while some normal tree species are especially suited to being shaped into bonsai.
A tour of Hennie’s private tree collection will illustrate all the shaping styles in bonsai, from root over rock to the baobab style. Hennie provides ample inspiration to all bonsai enthusiasts and gardening fundis.
