LINDSAY'S PLACE

Tried a new coffee shop lately? If your in the Coopers Plains area of Brisbane in Queensland, you might like to sit and enjoy cake and coffee in a nice and peaceful location with some interesting added benefits.
The location is at 310 Musgrave Rd (near the Orange Grove intersection) Coopers Plains. This is about 15 - 20 minutes south of Brisbane.
Imagine sitting outside, under cover (awning) with the rain tapping on the roof (I like that sound and I almost felt that it was raining just for my benefit), sipping a mug of coffee while you were admiring a peaceful Japanese garden setting backed with a pleasant display of Bonsai.
This relaxation being enjoyed after walking around a Bonsai Nursery with a huge shop containing all sorts of Bonsai accessories from wire, soil and pots to the latest Bonsai references.

Where am I referring too? One of Australia's premier Bonsai garden centres run by the Bebb family. This nursery is a importer, wholesaler and retailer of Bonsai merchandise with Lindsay and Glennis being well respected through out the Australian Bonsai community. The garden center contains the Bonsai Shop & Coffee Shop I have already mentioned, as well as, a retail nursery, workshop, classroom and arboretum. The site also contains a classroom with courses being offered for those interested.

This nursery is new (December 95) but only in location. It has enjoyed many years in another location about 10 minutes away so it is not new on reputation or experience. Don't worry about parking either as a large car park, fully tarred with curb and guttering catering for 43 cars is provided. The whole complex is surrounded by a high wooden fence, completely isolating the visitor from the surrounding environment

Whether you are interested in just lunch or morning tea or you would have a taste for Bonsai, Lindsay and Glennis cater for the Bonsai beginner to the experienced or just those interested in a cuppa.
