I bought a Sago here for a very reasonable price. Not a lot of plants, but I enjoyed talking with the owner.

Really appreciate Mr. Grey Andersons hospitality for me and wife's visit. Wide variety of plants supplies and books for those interested in the art of Bonsai. Thank you for sharing... read more

Nee-Hai Bonsai - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Fresno, California

There are very few places in California to see and buy bonsai, and get bonsai advice. New-Hai Bonsai is a fantastic place to do all of the above. They have styled bonsai ready to go as well as plant material for the enthusiast who wants to style their own. read more

Fresno's Bonsai secret. Super friendly service. I love the concept. I enjoy that it is local. I will be promoting this place to friends and family. Will continue to support this local business. read more

I have lived very close to this nursery for 7 years. I began to learn a bit about bonsais so decided to check it out. What a treasure I have found!!! The owner onsite is a wealth of information and very willing to help with questions and understanding . The vast amount of fantastic bonsai trees in various stages will blow your mind. It's so worth seeing even if bonsai isn't your thing. Gift shop carries books, bonsai pots and incredible Japanese incense. I encourage anyone to stop here and explore. There's no place like this in Fresno. read more

There are places in the middle of Fresno where peace can be found. New-Hai Bonsai is such a place. It is in the middle of traffic, commercial and industrial businesses and if you are not paying attention you will pass right by it. This not a bonsai park or garden but a place selling bonsai made by Grey, bonsai master. I don't want to hype it because it is contrary to the spirit of the place. I just thought I would share it. read more

I stopped in hoping I could find a good book for a beginner. The owner is so warm and friendly that I spent a good hour chatting about all sorts of things. When I left, I had the book I'd been hoping for as well as a couple of succulents, some rock, and a brand new pot. If it hadn't been such a hot day I could have easily spent more time ( and more money) there. Looking forward to going back for supplies once I finish the book so I can get started on my own little tree in a pot. read more

Highly impressed with the price + quality of the lovely saplings and specimen trees at this nursery-- but the owner's kind, highly knowledgeable customer service is what really compelled me to write this review (which hasn't happened in so long, I forgot my login + had to make a new account just to post it!) To put it simply, the owner, Grey Anderson, REALLY knows what he is talking about. Though I have countless succulent and cactus children already, I had only ever owned one bonsai before visiting Nee-Hai (which I didn't study up nearly enough about when it was mine). All I came prepared with was an intermediate knowledge from reading up, very little proper hands-on experience, and a strong willingness to learn. As it turns out though, Grey holds in the highest value the spirit and vigor of a novice bonsai enthusiast, which we discussed in depth-- and for this reason I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting this nursery if you're a BEGINNER thinking of getting into bonsai, to buy a first tree, etc. That said, you should definitely visit if you've got established knowledge, too-- just that if you feel intimidated by trying something new, lack of knowledge, or are afraid of killing a tree old enough to be in the 4th grade, like the 10yo one I left with, I get you-- you're in good hands with Grey. Though I'm only 23 (and honestly look like I'm 15 and clueless), I was allowed to wander the grounds of his nursery for what must have been an hour at least-- giving me generous freedom to explore as slowly as I wanted-- while also casually checking in with me now and then to make sure I had all my questions answered. His presence was ever imposing, nor making me feel rushed. Be sure to take a peek at the warm, quaint indoor selection, where you'll find a variety of high quality bonsai tools for pruning and whatnot, ceramic pots (for bonsai and tea!), bonsai books and magazines (some in Japanese, some English), mudmen, and some other great imported goods for bonsai and otherwise. I swear, I would come back every week given the hobbies we share, Grey's willingness to share his knowledge, and the sheer friendliness he displayed in our first meeting, but at about 40 mins from my Clovis home, I might have to settle for once a month instead. Two things are certain though: I will be back soon (with my sketchbook, to trade art with Grey!), and I would very highly recommend this nursery to ANYONE. Period. read more

Grey is knowledgeable and personable. He usually has the answer for questions about the care of Bonsai, and if he doesn't he'll find the information. Large selection too... read more

This place is amazing. All of the bonsai are ridiculously healthy, and the owner is the warmest, most wonderful man you'll ever meet. I came in stressed about my day and left without a care in the world. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and helped me pick out a beginner's bonsai - a Chinese elm. I love this place. Highly recommend. read more

OK, so I am new to Bonsai. I met Grey Anderson, and he was awesome. I appreciate how he took the time to explain to me the various varieties, which would grow best indoors, outdoors, etc. He took the time to discuss certain varieties, what my intentions/goals were, and matched me up with a wonderful specimen. I appreciate that; someone taking the time to talk me through it rather than just trying to make a sale. Additionally, it is obvious he has years of experience, and he is more than willing to share all those experiences, even with a novice like myself. As for pricing, he was more than reasonable and affordable. His shop has all the supplies anyone could need. I will certainly be a regular here...thanks Grey! I will be back in the next few days with my wife, since she is excited about something for her office as well! read more

Came to Nee-Hai Bonsai looking for a soil mix for my succulents and I left a happy camper! The gentleman (bummed I didn't get his name) was super nice and gave me his own soil and walked me through how to layer it! Will definitely be back! read more

Holy smokes! First off this place is hands down amazing. Grey was helping us today and he answered any and all questions I had and then some. When answering the questions I had for him he just had this very enthusiastic approach to his answers almost as if he was living through my experience and trying to figure out what I am looking to do. Very kind and patient. Showed me what I was looking for explained pros and cons showed me other plants I might be interested gave me some ideas on what to do on some of my current raw material. This place has a lot of bonsais and tools to help you through what you are needing. Picked up a Chinese elm and some cutters. read more

Awesome experience! Took a little drive from Tulare to Fresno to check the place out. Very friendly and helpful staff and plenty of selection of bonsai trees from starters to finished products. Great price on every thing there! Spent around $120 and walked out with 6 trees and 6 pots. I will definitely be making my way back here soon! read more

Terrible. I came, gates were open and as soon as I pulled in a man came out and started yelling pointing towards the road telling us to leave. I'm very bummed I have been looking to buy a legit bonsai and was so excited to see this bonsia nursery so closed to where I lived. read more

I've been here many times, and I keep coming back. The owner is friendly and very helpful. He takes the time to talk about bonsai and answer any questions. It's a great place to get everything I need for my bonsai, and the prices are very affordable. read more

I met Grey years ago when he worked at Duncan Water Gardens. He has consistently given more than excellent customer service. Everytime, without fail you receive his full attention, wisdom and humor. read more

I was surprised at the large selection of plants, supplies and books at this nursery. I wanted to buy a gift, the gift was for someone who wanted to start working with bonsai. I received such personal attention on what to buy, different types of books and how to start this adventure. Now I am interested in bonsai and will be back to this nursery. Oh did I mention I have been to this place now three times. read more

Awesome place. Grayson is knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. Nice selection ranging from starters, designed bonsai, rocks, books and pots. Too bad I don't live nearby. Hours are 10 a.m to 4 p.m. not 9 a.m. read more

I went there earlier this week and i was helped to find exactly what i wanted, we went through various types of bonsai until i found what was fit for me. Over all very good service. read more

When is this place open?!!?? I have called several times, no answer. I have been to the location several times, gate locked no action!!! I see reviews posted on here from this year. Nee-Hai Bonsai change your time and days of operation, because you are not open at the times and days posted!!! If anything change them so seasonal or by appointment only! read more
