Bonsai to the left of me, flowers to the right, here I am, stuck with zuchinni with you!

Well, if I were sitting in the chair! A local nursery has had classes in bonsai and airiums (air plants) that I took, and they sell the supplies I used in making my Gnome Garden. My first bonsai is on the chair's left. It is a little ficus tree. I did not actually do much, the teacher did all the work, "showing" us how to wire the plant to the pot and trim and shape the branches using wire.

Good for you for getting started on your garden this year. My wife and I have been thinking about planting some bonsais, but we just didn't have time last summer, and we don't have any supplies. I think that it is really awesome that you can trim and shape the branches of these plants by using a wire. That saves me from having to get all kinds of expensive tools.http://www.wilsonbrothersrental.com/wilson-bros-equipment.html
