About our Nursery
Rooted in Time, Growing in Hawthorn
Bonsai Farm has long been a quiet landmark in Melbourne — a place where trees, stories, and people grow together. As the city’s oldest bonsai nursery, it offers not just trees, but a space shaped by decades of care and conversation.
Visitors come to find a bonsai with character, refine their technique, or simply enjoy a garden where the pace is unhurried. Every tree carries an echo of the hands and seasons that shaped it.
Our work extends beyond the nursery. We are producing a 22-minute documentary on the seven old masters of Yixing and completing Episode 40 of World of Bonsai, the final chapter in a series that has followed the art across cultures.
At Bonsai Farm, we share not only trees but the stories and sensibilities that give bonsai its depth. Whether you seek a tree, knowledge, or a moment of stillness, you are welcome here.
Biography
Lindsay and Marietta Farr
About Lindsay & Marietta
Lindsay Farr’s path to bonsai began early, paused for music, and eventually returned with greater depth. As a teen he became Australia’s first Motown representative, helped bring the T.A.M.I. Show to Bandstand, and played sax with Heart ’n’ Soul, Daddy Cool, and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, before working in television and radio.
Marietta, born in Szeged, Hungary, trained as a potter, bringing a refined sense of form and craft.
Together they shaped Bonsai Farm into a place where trees, ceramics, and storytelling meet — a small sanctuary built from shared craft and quiet dedication.
