Inspiration from nature underpins all Bonsai. For centuries, trees appreciated for their resilience to the challenges of time and the elements were collected from the mountains of China and Japan. These trees became ‘penjing’ and ‘bonsai’ –trees in pots or trays. This practice has been handed down and improved on over time. Bonsai is now worldwide in its practice and appreciation.
Although ancient in origin, Bonsai is accessible to anyone mindful of living things and attentive to the inspiration of the natural world. The cultivation of bonsai trees involves both creative artistry and horticultural skill.
Berea Bonsai studio offers a wide selection of pre-bonsai as well as styled bonsai trees and supplies. We also provide an accessible introduction to the art of bonsai through our workshops and open studio sessions.
