Introduction to Bonsai
Bon~ (A tray or Container) Sai~ (Noun-
To grow)
The art of Bonsai does not merely decrease the size of a tree to fit and
be planted in a bonsai pot, but rather attempts to increase and enhance the potted tree, expanding it’s natural beauty, to capture nature itself.

An Escape From Stress
Bonsai
can take you mentally to your favorite place of relaxation. The sea cliffs of a wind-blown coastline, A rivers edge where tree
roots have been exposed by the winter floods of time, or a highland tree in an alpine glade.
A small group planting can represent an island, or an entire forest. A single tree can represent a huge,
lonely, old tree the moss covered dirt beneath, a vast meadow or the native vegetation of a forest floor.
It's Not so Difficult
Bonsai
can be a rewarding and inexpensive hobby that can be learned by anyone with an interest. While some bonsai are hundreds of
years old passed down from generation to generation, with the proper techniques, in just a short time, a bonsai can take on
the appearance of an ancient and weather worn tree from the days of old.

changing, always increasing,
Never finished.
