Bonsai (pronounced "bone-sigh") is the practice and art of growing and keeping trees in containers or pots. Their small size retains and expresses the beauty & volume of a tree grown naturally. The term bonsai is a Japanese word that means “planted in a tray”

Begun in China and brought to Japan, bonsai is part horticulture and part art. The techniques of bonsai include pruning, shaping, and container-growing to produce a miniaturized version of a natural tree or landscape.

Bonsai is an exciting adventure that is challenging to describe to those who have not experienced it personally. Miniature trees and landscapes carefully nurtured and tended in their pots, give back much more in beauty and peace than is ever exacted in the cost of creating and maintaining them. Bonsai is an adventure in which you can participate.
