Infos

Creating bonsai, an ancient art form that encourages meditation and contemplation, can be an intimidating art to start because of its intricate and precise nature. But David Squire's new book, Complete Starter Guide to Bonsai for Beginners, is a gentle but complete beginner's guide to the craft. Starting with the definition of what bonsai is, the author discusses the spirit and aesthetics of creating bonsai then continues with the materials needed--including the right species of tree to get--how to prune, pinch, water, feed and display your piece. The book also includes chapters on indoor bonsai species, outdoor bonsai species and how to deal with pests and diseases, then concludes with a beautiful gallery of bonsai trees. Feel calmer and more focused by learning how to raise bonsai trees.
