The history of the art of Bonsai is a unique field of plant growing. In the current sense, Bonsai is the art of growing an exact copy of a real tree (or another plant) in miniature.
Modern Bonsai is a living example of natural beauty, created by the harmonious unity of the three main elements – plant, soil and container.
