Autumn in the bonsai forest - Pictures at a garden in Britain in Sep, 2013
Date: 25/10/2013, 11:38 AMThese pictures were actually taken at Britiain's biggest bonsai nursery, which is home to over 5,000 of the miniature trees.
This week, the flora turned a dazzling array of golds and reds turning the forest of pint sized trees into a spectrum of living color.
Fiery: Burning reds and golden oranges have swept across the seven-acre landscape of the bonsai nursery as autumn arrives
Gardeners at the Lingfield center tend to the incredible seven and a half acre landscape which is filled by large and small trees, all grown in the bonsai style.
While around half of the trees are planted and cultivated in the UK, others are imported from Japan before being placed among ponds, pathways and benches for visitors to marvel at.
Peter Chan and his wife Dawn began collecting miniature trees in 1986 and have since turned the site into a fully landscaped haven for bonsai fans.
Peter became interested in bonsai in 1967 when he started to grow trees and shrubs in a tiny London flat. He won the first ever RHS Gold Medal for a bonsai garden in 1982, the first time he exhibited his intricate work.
