About
Jess and Roberto at a Bonsai show in Tenterfield with their awards
Roberto Rangel the proprietor of Bonsai Bliss first became interested in Bonsai while watching the Karate Kid movies as a young boy. Then in 1996 he purchased a bonsai tree, and with the aid of a book he had also purchased he began to create his own bonsai trees. It wasn’t long before his backyard was filled with bonsai.
Roberto is a self taught bonsai artist, his knowledge gained from many different sources including books, the internet (youtube is great!!), conversing with other enthusiasts and Bonsai Clubs.
In 2003 he moved to his acreage property and decided to turn his passion into a business. By selling bonsai trees at the local markets he was able to purchase more trees, shrubs and pots to create more bonsai and over the past 15 years Roberto has all so been propagating trees and shrubs from seed and cuttings. We now stock more than 3,000 potential bonsai and bonsai trees and all so have available a wide range of bonsai accessories. In September 2013 we opened up a Bonsai shop in Lismore dealing in Bonsai and Crystals.
Roberto’s partner Jess, his children Marcel and Rhani, and a part time employee also help out at Bonsai Bliss. Roberto and Jess have both won awards for bonsai and have held exhibitions.
Roberto also has an interest in Japanese gardens and landscapes and is offering a service in designing and constructing Japanese gardens. We have a variety of landscape trees and plants available for creating Japanese gardens including Japanese maples and Japanese black pines.
Bonsai Bliss is the biggest supplier of bonsai in the Northern Rivers NSW area. The art of Bonsai has given Roberto and Jess many hours of meditation, pleasure and bliss and it can do that for you too.
Blessings from Bonsai Bliss.
