Hi my name is Bill Valavanis!

For the past 50 years I've studied and promoted bonsai in the United States and around the globe. During those decades many educational progams have been pesented, articles have been authored and magazines/books have been published. The US National Bonsai Exhibitions have been in Rochester, New York, and I've had the pleasure of organzing them as well as publishing their commmorative albums.

I'd like to invite you to share some of my discoveries from around the world, as well as helpful articles about bonsai through my blog. These postings, rich with interesting photos, can actually introduce you to many of the events I attend and participate in.

I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoyed traveling to all these wonderful bonsai gatherings.

Bill
