Growing bonsai is a life-long hobby.  Bonsai is not a particular plant, but an ancient method to keep large trees small and let them complete their natural cycle on a small scale.  The roots and stems are wired to maintain the size and form that you want.  Some people argue that it is more art than horticulture.  So, if you're artistic but don't have the greenest of thumbs, bonsai might be the hobby for you!

We have a great selection of finished bonsai and plants suitable for starting a bonsai.  Come talk to our tropical plant experts about the best bonsai for you and get your bonsai started now (because it takes years of pruning and care before your bonsai assumes the shape you want.)

Our friend Jim Siegl hand-carves beautiful Santa figurines.  We are honored to represent Jim's work at our garden center and hope that you find his work as fascinating as we do.  Each of Jim's carvings are one-of-a-kind, created with old fashion tools and techniques.  His wife, Helene, hand paints each figure with unique details.  Read more about Jim on The Coloradoan.
