Schley's Bonsai and Supplies - DeLand, Florida

All I can say is…WOW! Jason’s classes are nothing short of amazing. I discovered a huge love for Bonsai that I am forever grateful for. Jason is a Bonsai Pro. Jason was so helpful and patient with me and walked me through the entire bonsai process. He answered all of my questions with compassion, grace and excitement. No matter how many questions I asked, or how much help I asked for, he was excited and happy to help each time. I am so excited for this new hobby and I am so grateful for Jason and his generosity. My husband and I both took his beginner class and got hooked and took his forest class the following weekend. Very impressed with Jason!

We attended a beginner class with Jason yesterday and had an enjoyable time learning from one of the best in the Central Florida region. Jason has a vast knowledge and willingness to share how knowledge with others. He is a patient instructor and showed us how to make brach selections and the reason why. He also showed us how to wire and when to care for the bonsai that we received in class. Jason makes the class fun and light, no pressure at all. Schley’s Nursery is vast and has a wide range of choices from stock material up to refined bonsai. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The nursery also has plenty of supplies at a reasonable price. I have signed up for two more classes and hope to continue my learning with Jason. I would recommend if you are new to bonsai or and experience artist Jason has much to offer. Thank you, Jason and we look forward to attending your next class!

I have taken several classes here (beginner classes as well as advanced) and shop here frequently. I find myself coming back because not only are their plants of high quality, but the support you get in choosing and maintaining your plant makes it worth the trip. As much as I love the plants and walking the beautiful property, I can not recommend the classes enough. The wealth of knowledge about specific plant species and caring for bonsai is almost overwhelming and inspiring. Starting a new bonsai as well as making a plan for the care and future of your plant as well as understanding the development of it is perfect and well done. It's relaxing, enjoyable, and time well spent.

Jason is awesome, he’s been helping me with my tree for the last 5 yrs. It wasn’t bonsai when we started but look at it now. Thank you J.

This place is amazing! From the grounds to all of the bonsai trees and wonderful stuff. I have booked "Bring your own tree" with Jason and it was definitely worth the drive from Tampa. Jason is very knowledgeable and passionate. My little juniper went from shaggy to bonsai looking tree again and I am more confident taking care of it having a roadmap 🙂 I would highly recommend this place to anyone not only bonsai lovers as there's so much beauty to appreciate.

Absolutely beautiful nursery, these guys have everything a Florida bonsai enthusiast could want.
Excellent Florida native choices along with popular bonsai species from all over.

Jason is a great man who will work with everyone to make sure they have a good experience with bonsai and the nursery.

Also the hardest worker in that nursery is the cutest lil cat.

Purchased a tree 8/27/24 and it went into shock or died within 2 weeks. Tried reaching out on social media through tagging and dm and get zero response, they post often so they’re obviously on the platforms and either don’t pay attention or just don’t care. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️
We were given zero instruction on how to care for this other than this is an easy tree to maintain. I won’t be purchasing from them again. Such a shame cause it is a beautiful spot to just go and look at trees. Please Do better with future customers

🤣 you coming on here and just stating there’s no tags is an outright lie and quite hilarious. I think maybe you should learn how to use instagram and facebook before you comment 1 ⭐️ now 👋🏻
also posted pics of the tags just to prove your lying about not being tagged.

Schley’s is a real gem in DeLand. The property is just beautiful, and the Jason and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate.

I had the pleasure of joining a class Jason offers and thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience there, from the location, to the pizza we had for lunch, to the experience of selecting and repotting my own Bonsai. I left with a ton of new knowledge, a new tree, AND the tools required to start my own journey into cultivation.

If you have ANY interest in Bonsai, you should visit Schley’s for a few hours. You will leave feeling inspired.
