Bonsai takes years
to learn. Start with
the right tree.

Most beginners choose the wrong species and quit within a year. I spent 3 years studying in Kyoto so you can avoid that mistake. This site is for people who want to learn the craft – not just buy a tree.

Begin Here
No rush. The tree will wait.

Start Here

Species selection, first tools, common beginner mistakes – read before you buy anything

Care Guides

Monthly calendars by species – watering, pruning, repotting, winter prep

Tools and Soil

What tools actually matter, what you can skip, and soil mixes that work

Bonsai Practitioner · 20 Years · Studied in Kyoto, Japan

I spent three years studying under a master in Kyoto before returning to the Pacific Northwest. Twenty years later I teach bonsai locally and write about the craft for people who take it seriously. This site is not about shortcuts. It is about doing it properly.
