Bonsai Club To Exchange Ideas
By Suzzie T Franklin
A bonsai club is a great meeting place for those who enjoy growing
bonsai trees. The bonsai society is growing by leaps and bounds
all over the world, and people who are novices to the art may
have questions that can be answered by being in a close knit,
online bonsai group or club. There are many websites for bonsai
enthusiasts and finding a club is as simple as running a google
search.
One of the best websites for those who are looking to join a
bonsai club on the internet is www.bonsai-bci.com.
This is basically a one stop shop for those who are looking for
others who share in their passion. One can find a variety of articles,
links to other bonsai organizations, and even a variety of bonsai
books that one can purchase and read for tips on bonsai tree care
or where to buy bonsai supplies.
Bonsai is really a worldwide experience that anyone can enjoy
if they only look for the right club to join, and this is one
site where a person can gain that insight needed to choose just
the right one.
Bonsai Art For Beginners
Another perfect place for beginners who would like to know more
about bonsai art is www.internetbonsaiclub.com.
This informative site is great for those who are looking for more
information on bonsai care.
One can join for free and get in on the numerous discussions
that the members have on a variety of subjects. This site also
has a few links to other sites that are filled with information
on everything bonsai, such as pests and diseases, bonsai books
and where to get bonsai supplies.
A bonsai club can be so much more than just a forum to discuss
one's hobby. A club can give a person insight into this ancient
craft that they might not otherwise have had, with regard to the
art of growing bonsai trees. Some club members will have a lot
of experience, more so than a novice to the art, and can give
information that only a true bonsai gardener can offer.
Being a grower of bonsai trees has never been simpler or more
fun thanks in part to the wonderful world of the internet.

Little Known Gardening Facts....
What is bonsai?
Bonsai means miniature tree in Japanese.
It is also called Penzai in Chinese and it is all about shaping
and trimming a tree, any tree to fit into a small container.
They are beautiful and require special training to keep them
small and contained within those small areas. They have a rich
and colorful history dating back to the Han Dynasty. In the West
we refer to all miniature trees as bonsai trees even when they are
not truly bonsai trees.
What is the history of bonsai trees?
Historians believe that the bonsai tree came
to us from the Han Dynasty when people wanted small trees to decorate
their houses and their gardens. This was courtesy of the Chinese
people. Later the Japanese began to use the trees during the Tokugawa
period to landscape their property and began to use a variety
of trees in their plantings.
These were not dwarf plants rather they were regular trees used
to make the bonsai tree through careful pruning and potting. Special
containers and skills were needed so it became a pastime of the
wealthier and was a mark of the nobility to have landscapes that
featured these special living art pieces.
