Grant is willing to tackle most material, but likes pines, junipers, figs, deciduous trees as well as native material, especially banksias. Grant works with all levels of bonsai development, from beginner to advanced level, and specialises in redesigning existing bonsai, carving, heavy bending and compression wiring. Over the years he has given many demonstrations and workshops, and he has introduced several advanced techniques to the bonsai community.
