In 2000 he went to Japan for two years and studied at Mansei-en bonsai nursery, Omiya Japan, under the Kato Family.

Alex gives classes and is a popular teacher at the Megumi Bennet School of Bonsai. Alex is also a sought after presenter at Bonsai Conventions.

Alex is trained in the traditional Japanese methods of Bonsai and has a rare ability to be able to both create wonderful Bonsai as well as teach students the way to achieve the very best from the art of Bonsai. His friendliness and humour endears this young master to many of his pupils.
