Welcome to your one stop shop where the fabulous art of bonsai lives.

The art of bonsai is over 2,000 years old, originating in China where miniatur potted landscapes called penjing were created.

The practice was later brought to Japan, where it evolved into the distinct art of growing individual trees in containers that we recognise today as bonsai.

The name bonsai simply means “bon'” means “tray” or “pot” and “Sai” means “plant” or “tree”.

The oldest known bonsai is a Ficus Retusa Linn at the Crespi Bonsai Museum in Italy, estimated to be over 1,000 years old. The museum is located in Milan.

This website has been set up with the bonsai beginner in mind as a tool to help you start your journey in bonsai. Like myself who has started my own bonsai journey by searching the internet and Youtube looking for all of the help I could get so that I could understand the craft and how to move forward.

I did find Adams Youtube channel “Notion Bonsai” and I’ve not looked back, you can find his channel in our Youtube Page along with other bonsai channels.
