My story

Hello, my name is Neil Cox. For over three decades, I have nurtured miniature landscapes, witnessing their resilience and quiet grandeur. But a recent storm – the loss of my father – swept through, leaving an ache that echoed the gnarled branches of my oldest Juniper bonsai tree. In the raw face of grief, I found solace in the familiar rituals of my bonsai hobby. Each snip, each bend, became a meditative balm, a way to channel sorrow into purpose. As I coaxed new life from weathered wood, I began to rebuild my own resilience, twig by patient twig.

This experience ignited a passion for me to share the transformative power of bonsai with others. My book isn’t a horticultural guide; it’s a heartfelt journey through loss, hope, and the unexpected places where healing blossoms. Through my relatable prose and insightful reflections, readers can discover how cultivating bonsai can nurture their own inner strength, one leaf at a time.

Whether facing personal storms or simply seeking inspiration, my story invites you to step into my bonsai garden, a haven where resilience whispers in the rustle of leaves, and hope takes root in the gentlest touch.
