Bonsai Expert: Holly Noall

Bonsai expert Holly literally grew up with a pair of bonsai scissors in her hand. As Lloyd’s eldest daughter, Holly has benefitted from growing up on the nursery. Despite being in her early twenties, Holly already has many years of bonsai experience under her belt. She is passionate about the environment and environmental issues and wants to continue the journey her parents have started.

Her life has been immersed in the world of bonsai and she has a zeal for growing. Her knowledge is vast and, like Lloyd she is inspired to grow top quality bonsai from our nursery in rural mid Devon. Holly is an enthusiastic young lady who works closely with both the nursery and office teams. She has years of expertise and specialises in the growing of our indoor bonsai range She features prominently in our social media posts and is adorned by her fluffy little dog ‘Pogo’.
