Punctuation of Practice and Patience
An intricate art, bonsai calls for the shaping of trees to mimic their full-sized counterparts in nature. As such, bonsai education transcends horticulture, demanding an understanding of design principles such as scale, proportion, and balance. These aren't concepts that one masters overnight. But, through the long-term engagement that bonsai workshops and classes encourage, budding bonsai artists are armed with the patience to endure the years of growth and transformation.
