Lotus Bonsai Nursery & Gardens

Situated within the picturesque Sierra Nevada foothills, just 30 miles east of Sacramento and a mere 4 miles from the historic site of Coloma, our 5-acre location offers an ideal setting for cultivating Bonsai. Since 1972, we have been dedicated to the art of growing, creating, and nurturing these beautiful trees. Our nursery provides a full range of services for Bonsai enthusiasts, catering to both masters and novices with competitively priced, high-quality products.

We welcome visitors to explore our nursery by appointment only. To schedule your visit, please contact us via phone at (530) 622-9681 or email us at mail@lotusbonsai.com. This allows us to prepare for your arrival and ensure that you have a comprehensive experience at our nursery.

Our team is expertly led by Scott Chadd, who started his Bonsai journey in 1972 with a Sweet Gum tree that still flourishes today. Bolet Salvador is another key member of our team, specializing in shohin, flowering and fruiting trees, as well as select tropical species. Together, we're committed to advancing our skills in all areas of Bonsai, from propagation techniques to working with century-old specimens.
