Interesting and helpful beginners or curious

What a fun, interesting audiobook to listen to. Everyone knows about Bonsai trees, but few people actually know about Bonsai trees. While listening I learned about the history of Bonsai and their impactful meaning to Japanese culture. The audiobook also covered basic care, watering and pruning.

For me the most interesting portions covered different styles and forms of the individual trees, as well as establishing miniature landscapes. I also really enjoyed learning about how the love of Bonsai tress brings people together for a sense of community and even showmanship. If you are looking to start or improve your Bonsai trees or even if you just love learning about new subjects, this is a great listen.

Love love loved this book!

I admit it - I do not have a green thumb. I've tried for years to develop one and I just hasn't worked. So, I have decided to try Bonsai, and this book was just what I needed to get started. I loved the discussion of all the history and tradition surrounding this art, it is very inspiring. I'm also not all that creative - and this book has great tips to help folks like me show struggle with that as well. I'm just getting started on this Bonsai adventure, but with this book I feel like it's going to be very fun. Also liked the narration, very easy to listen to. Highly recommend!
