Bonsai is an art form and a gardening technique over 1000 years old, despite being associated with Japanese culture, Bonsai growing is actually an old Chinese practice that Japanese Buddhists eventually refined and developed even further. It was once reserved for only the most elite in society, but these days the knowledge of how to practice bonsai has spread worldwide.
