What is Bonsai?
Bonsai is a horticultural art. Woody plants are grown in shallow containers and styled to resembled scale-models of the mature tree in nature.
Bonsai need sunlight, air movement, water, nutrients and a substrate in which to grow. That's the horticultural element, and it's the same as in any other form of gardening.
The art of bonsai involves styling, training and pruning the tree to the shape you want and then matching it to a complementary container to create the desired overall effect - drama, strength, grace, elegance or whimsy.
We teach that Bonsai is not about the age of the tree, per se - it is about the effectiveness and beauty of the design. Come visit us soon, we look forward to welcoming you.
