I love trees. I always have. I want you to love trees, too. By creating bonsai with the trees that surround you, you inspire others to take a look around. When the realization of possibilities hits, there is an immediate emotional experience that deepens the respect of where you live.
Bonsai isn't some exotic fantasy. It's at your fingertips every day. Reach out and touch it!
It's a practice, a meditation, a therapy session, an art form.
Bonsai takes time, but it isn't hard.
Really.
