Bonsai Tree Is Unique Gift For The Patient Gardener

Bonsai trees (pronounced “bon-sigh”) respond best to the “patience is a virtue” gardener.  Japanese bonsai miniature gardens create the illusion of a bigger tree or garden, and have become very popular for gardening gifts as well as for weddings, birthdays, clients or bosses, and other special occasions.  (See below for information about 10% discount.)

Gardeners and “wannabe’s” alike enjoy tending these mini-gardens and making periodic trims to form the shape they want.  Be warned, those with heavy-handed, Edward Scissorhands-like trimming skills may end up with just a trunk if not careful!  With proper care, these bonsai beauties will grow in size and value for years to come.

Bonsai trees are perfect for small spaces (like office, foyer, or dorm room) but many prefer to be outside except when the winter temperatures get so extreme.   Since growing a bonsai tree involves some artistic design as well as horticultual know-how, possible gift recipients could be the hard-core gardeners as well as the not so hard-core.  A unique and green gift idea!

Each bonsai plant from Bonsai Boy of New York is potted in a beautiful, glazed planter proportionate to the size of the plant. The custom bonsai soil mix has been developed over the years to ensure good water retention and drainage.  All established bonsai plants are shipped with easy-to-follow care instructions and carefully wrapped and securely packaged for safe arrival in excellent condition.  Gift card enclosures are also available.
