Creating Living Bonsai Art in Tampa Bay Florida

The art of bonsai is an incredible way to connect with nature and deepen your appreciation of the natural world—and we’re excited to help you get started!

Thunderstruck Bonsai is a veteran-owned and operated bonsai nursery based in Pinellas Park, Florida. We specialize in creating living art with tropical species that is as unique as it is beautiful. We’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality trees we can find, and we take pride in our ability to turn each tree into something special.

At Thunderstruck Bonsai, we believe that everyone should have access to the art of bonsai. We’re passionate about creating living art that is accessible to everyone, and we strive to bring together communities through the sharing of our knowledge and love of the craft.

Our mission is simple: we want to help people discover the beauty of bonsai, and we want to make it easy for them to do so!

In collaboration with some of the largest independent breweries in the Tampa Bay area, our Bonsai & Brews events and workshops are hosted throughout the year to spread our knowledge and expertise, as well as help others learn how to create their own living art.

As a full-service bonsai nursery, we offer a variety of services including regular maintenance, fertilization, pruning, short & long-term tree boarding, soil analysis, diagnosis, and more.  We also offer private lessons, workshops, and team-building/corporate events, so if you have an idea in mind but don’t know how to make it happen, let us help!

We invite you to explore our website, which features a gallery of our work, as well as information about upcoming events. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment with one of our experts, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

TESTIMONIALS

We went to the Bonsai and Brews at 3 Daughters last night and it was awesome! Larry is not only knowledgeable, he is kind. There was no concern about doing it “wrong”, they gave support and gentle guidance and encouraged us to be creative and tell a story with our bonsai styles. Larry’s passion for bonsai is contagious and he’s got a real skill for showing the beauty of the art. 10/10

 Larry at Thunderstruck has an unmatched passion for the art of Bonsai and has quickly established himself as one of the best in the business. Not to mention the fact that he’s a pleasure to work with and his trees are amazing.

This place is a real hidden gem. Great selection of trees, all of which are in peak health. Everything from pre-bonsai to trees many decades old are on display. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. Support a local business instead of buying a tree at a big box store. Will definitely be back.

Larry is amazing. I bought my first tree from him at a festival and just this past weekend I brought it back to him for confirmation that I’m not killing my plant, along with another bonsai I bought, that I am CERTAIN I was killing.He took the time to teach me how to prune my Jade and confirmed with me that my other plant isn’t dying. I was so impressed with his insights I ended up buying a second tree.This guy really knows what he is doing and I’m 100% looking forward to buying more trees from him in the future.
We went to the Bonsai and Brews at 3 Daughters last night and it was awesome! Larry is not only knowledgeable, he is kind. He had 2 assistants with him (Justin and I think his name was Kai?) who were also knowledgeable and kind. There was no concern about doing it "wrong", they gave support and gentle guidance and encouraged us to be creative and tell a story with our bonsai styles. Larry's passion for bonsai is contagious and he's got a real skill for showing the beauty of the art. 10/10

What an incredibly beautiful display of bonsai. He was extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his craft!We bought 4 bonsai from him and wanted to replant them in the proper season. He was kind enough to make sure we had all the proper equipment and walk us through each step. I would highly recommend this business for any and all bonsai needs.HE ALSO DOES WORKSHOPS!!! How cool!!!!

The guy really takes care of these trees, i bought a few bonsai trees for a gift for my mother's bday, a couple Barbados cherry bonsai trees and the one you seen in karate kid. She loved them, now she has some new additions to her garden. Stop by and take a look for yourself, you wont be disappointed.Drew

Thunderstruck Bonsai is one of the best bonsai places we've ever visited. We were very impressed with the quality and variety of the trees, and how they are so well cared for. That's not always the case at the nurseries by us but it's obvious Larry knows what he's doing and is passionate about it. He is a wealth of knowledge and patiently answered all our questions. We went with the intention of just looking around (we live in IL and are here on vacation) and left with 2 beautiful trees that were very reasonably priced and my son is crazy about. Thank you, Thunderstruck Bonsai! Fantastic place.
