Our Nursery
Our Bonsai farm is located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. All of our bonsai is grown outdoors year round in the California sunshine. We chose this region because the Sierra Nevada Foothills offer an ideal balance of sunlight, seasonal variation, and clean mountain air—conditions that help develop hardy, character-rich trees. The warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils create an environment where bonsai can thrive naturally outdoors year-round. This climate encourages strong root growth, vibrant foliage, and the gradual aging that gives each tree its unique form and presence. Plus, the natural beauty of the foothills inspires our work every day.

Your journey here is guided by a lifelong passion that began when our founder, Dylan Ferreira picked up a beginner’s bonsai book in high school in the mid-1990s, sparking an unbreakable bond with the art of bonsai. Since then, this commitment has grown through years of experience, a degree in agricultural biology, and a diverse career in landscape horticulture, botanical gardens, USDA invasive plant control, and agricultural research in Ghana, Africa. Cedar Rose Nursery is more than a nursery – it’s a place where big dreams and a love for plants come together to offer you exceptional bonsai and plant care.

About Bonsai
Bonsai is the ancient horticultural art of cultivating miniature trees in containers, designed to mimic the shape and scale of full-sized trees found in nature. Rooted in both artistic expression and careful gardening, bonsai combines techniques like pruning, wiring, and root trimming to create living sculptures that evolve over time. The word "bonsai" is Japanese and translates to “planted in a container,” but the practice itself originated in China over a thousand years ago as penjing. More than just gardening, bonsai is a meditative practice that encourages patience, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of natural forms in miniature.
