Why Join a Bonsai Society?
  • Bonsai is a practical subject requiring artistic skill and horticultural knowledge.
  • As a craft it requires the ability to design or maintain a tree in three dimensions.
  • Whilst books can provide an invaluable source of information they cannot substitute for knowledge gained by handling real bonsai.
  • All those aspiring to own a bonsai tree soon realise that there is much more to the subject than might at first be apparent.
  • However the skills required are not difficult to understand and master when seen first hand but can be extremely difficult to describe with just words and drawings.
  • In order to develop the necessary skills therefore it really is best to attend a bonsai club.
  • It took the orientals many hundreds of years of trial and error to perfect the art of bonsai, but it is possible to acquire the basics in just a few evenings at a club.
