What a fun, interesting audiobook to listen to. Everyone knows about Bonsai trees, but few people actually know about Bonsai trees. While listening I learned about the history of Bonsai and their impactful meaning to Japanese culture. The audiobook also covered basic care, watering and pruning.

For me the most interesting portions covered different styles and forms of the individual trees, as well as establishing miniature landscapes. I also really enjoyed learning about how the love of Bonsai tress brings people together for a sense of community and even showmanship. If you are looking to start or improve your Bonsai trees or even if you just love learning about new subjects, this is a great listen.
