Bringing Bonsai to Ireland

Welcome to our website.

Our nursery is based in County Mayo in the west of Ireland, although we are not open to the public we attend shows during the summer months where you can meet with us. Our stand also has items for sale which are not listed on this site.

Here at Amberwood, our aim is to provide an all round service to you, our customer. From the purchase of a tree, the pot it will live in and the tools you will require, we can supply your every requirement.

Enjoy a browse around the site and remember, if there is anything you require which you don't find here, please contact us as we may be able to help you.

We look forward to dealing with you; our objective is to get bigger and better and still be here in years to come. We cannot do this without you, so, if you are happy, then so are we.

When you have decided on the items you wish to purchase please contact me and I will calculate the postage and let you know the final total. please see the shopping page.
I have had to increase pot prices, please see the pot page for details.

Please note that all items sent through An post are at the buyers risk. If you are purchasing expensive items I use a courier with full insurance. Currently the charge is €95 +VAT to Dublin. Alternatively you can either collect from us or we can arrange to meet you.
We also use a courier for heavier items like akadama. The charge is €58 for up to 300kg
Please call for details.

Bonsai club for Ireland I have been in contact with a number of people with regard to establishing a national society with regional clubs. I am presently waiting for Bonsai Europe to get in touch with me as I would like to affiliate with them. In the mean time please mail me with your details if you are interested in becoming a member.
Please let me know if you would like to organise such a club in your area. There is already interest in the Kildare and Kerry areas, so I may be able to put you in touch with someone if you are from there. If you are already knowledgeable or know of someone who is, please think about giving a demo. I need to get a list of people willing to speak.
