Bonsai Gardening Secrets

If you are like me, then creating you own beautiful bonsai trees is probably something you've never really considered, even thought of before.

However, when I came across Bonsai Gardening Secrets whilst searching around, I thought "oh heck, what the hell!"  And not a bad decision, I must say.

Obviously, being absolutely and totally new to all of this, I had no idea what to expect at all but everything was broken down easily for me to understand.  I mean, to be totally honest if you'd asked me to spell "bonsai" a few days ago I'd have got it wrong!

It had to be in plain, easy to understand language and fortunately it is.  However I get the feeling it isn't just for total beginners like myself.  It appears to be very comprehensive too (it's nearly 100 pages long), there must be loads for the not so novice to learn.  You never know, I could become a Bonsai Master pretty soon!

Like I said it's nearly 100 pages long, I mean the contents alone are 4 pages, so it does appear to be pretty in depth.  I obviously won't go through 4 pages worth of what it discusses but here's a few of the topics it teaches you (must of it with lovely color photos too:

  • Why Bonsai trees are formed and trained the way they are.
  • How to choose you first tree.
  • A detailed indoor Bonsai care guide
  • Secrets to Form Pruning, Maintenance Pruning, Plucking, Defoliation, "Jin and Shari".  Don't understand a word of that?  Don't worry because you learn all about it and so much more.
  • You'll learn the difference "cascading" style bonsai and broom style bonsai, as well as over a dozen other styles too.
  • Which are the best type of bonsai trees to have if you work or live in a stressful environment?  I've learnt that certain types of bonsai have excellent soothing qualities, and you can too.

As I said, I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the idea as to how much is included.
