In September 1997 I visited Hans and Henk at their Bonsai studio/garden in Leiden.
They have turned the long garden of a town-house in Leiden into a Japanese Garden, complete with flowing stream, tea house and bonsai trees.
The tea-house at the end of the garden is used for greeting visitors with a cup of coffee or Japanese Tea, courses and bonsai "things".
