			Julian Adams has been active in the world of bonsai since the early 70’s and has been influential in both teaching and ensuring that keen students have access to plants and supplies, through his business Adams’ Bonsai. My first real exposure to bonsai was a chance encounter at Pennsylvania’s Longwood Gardens in 1970. The visit was intended to see their vegetable gardens but the bonsai captured my imagination and changed the course of my life.
