Book Review: Great for the beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend gave this book to me knowing I would enjoy it. She was right. I've always wanted to make a bonsai, an edible one at that, so this gave me the opportunity to do so.
Concise, easy to read, simple instructions, and great pictures. All this makes this book a must have for anyone wanting to start out creating an herbal bonsai.
Summary of Herbal Bonsai: Practicing the Art With Fast-Growing Herbs
The art of bonsai, as traditionally practised, calls for training shrubs and trees to mimic -- in miniature -- the gnarled ancients of forest and crag. Those traditional specimens may need more than fifty years to mature, but by using woody herbs, you can get comparable effects in less than one year. Rosemary, scented geraniums, the thymes, and many other easily grown herbs are ideal for bonsai. In this book, horticulturist Richard W Bender shares his innovative technique, providing you with advice on choosing the appropriate herbs for the kinds of bonsai you wish to create. Practical instructions guide you through every step of the process.Bonsai Books
