Bonsai Gardens

[cbarnard]

Can anyone recommend some nice bonsai gardens or shops? When i'm there next year i would like to stop buy some places. Also if you know of any tea plantations that you can get tours of or are allowed to walk around the grounds that would be cool.

Thanks,
Curtis

I'm not able to find this Bonsai museum. Could you possibly find it on google earth or google maps for me?

Thanks!
