Bio:
I began working with trees to create bonsai at the age of 10 with only books and my love of nature as direction. After 20 years of working alone I joined the Cincinnati bonsai society and was able to find a mentor in Richard Strauss who studied under John Naka along with Ben Oki . This relationship lasted for almost 15 years.
I have operated a bonsai nursery since 1992 and have propagated or collected virtually all of my plants.

More about this Artist:
I am a graduate of art school and still paint and work in ceramics, creating some of my own bonsai pots.
My day job as a landscape contractor provides me with a wealth of exceptional bonsai material to grow on here at my nursery.

Rob grows exceptional material and has a great eye for finding the line of a tree. He hand picks his trees to ensure high quality and can grow a root ball like crazy. He is fun to work with, knows an enormous amount about horticulture, and is great at putting together the whole composition.

I have been buying bonsai field stock from Rob for years now and find the quality exceptional and the prices very competitive.
Rob’s knowledge of horticulture and bonsai is extensive. When I go shopping for a new tree at his place I always find something new and exciting. I can’t wait to go back and see what is new.

Mr Macgregor is a Master bonsai artest. I’ve been to his studio for many work shops where we would select and dig our trees from his growing fields. The trees are amazing and allways have great root balls and ready for a Bonsai pot. All my trees look great!!!
I allso attended a 5 week class with Rob where we made pots for our trees at the end of the class we had a great tree and a hand made pot to match. Rob lives for Bonsai and his stock shows it. You will not find better Bonsai anywhere.

Rob lives bonsai and his passion and willingness to share is apparent. His word is as good as gold and he carries a nice stock of Ohio grown trees at very resonable prices. His pre-bonsai stock is large and he has more finished trees than most. He also carries a large collection of viewing stones, slabs and planters. If you are interested in bonsai and want trees that will survive in Ohio climate, you cannot go wrong by visiting Rob.
