Bonsai is defined as a plant grown in a container. The word “bonsai” is formed from two words, ‘bon’ meaning tray or dish and ‘sai’ meaning a tree or plant. It is a living work of art that cannot be compared with any other artform. A bonsai can never be a finished work of art in this sense because it will always be a living piece of nature, continuing to live and grow.
​
Come and enjoy the variety and beauty of bonsai and talk stories with club members.
