Visiting the Greenhouse and Garden

The greenhouse and garden are not open for walk-in browsing. The site states: "You are welcome to visit the Eagle Creek Bonsai greenhouse and garden by appointment." To set one up, call 317-471-7696.

Because appointments are arranged directly with the owner, Scott Yelich, it helps to say what you are interested in when you call — for example, tropical versus temperate trees, pots, tools, wire, or soil. The site notes that in summer the trees move out into the garden and there is a selection of both tropical and temperate trees available, along with pots, tools, wire, soil, and other supplies.

Other Ways to Meet Eagle Creek Bonsai

If you would rather not schedule a private visit, there are public opportunities to connect:

  • Monthly workshops — held March through September, covering various tree species and bonsai styles. The 2026 workshop schedule is posted on the WORKSHOPS page.
  • Farmers' markets, bonsai shows, and craft shows — the Eagle Creek Bonsai booth appears at local farmers' markets, local and regional bonsai shows, and craft shows.
  • Speaking and events — Scott is available for speaking engagements, private lessons, demonstrations, and team building events.

What You Can Buy

Eagle Creek Bonsai sells bonsai trees, pre-bonsai, tools, pots, wire, soil, and supplies. It also sells suiseki, and the daizas (display stands) for the suiseki listed on the website are handmade by Scott. The business opened in September 2009 with the goal of offering quality bonsai and supplies at affordable prices.

Before You Go

  • Call ahead. Appointments are required for the greenhouse and garden, so confirm availability before traveling.
  • Check the workshops page if you want to attend a scheduled session rather than a private visit — the 2026 workshops have been updated there.
  • Review Shipping/Policies on the website if you are interested in ordering rather than visiting in person.
