Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bonsai Tree One of the exhibits of bonsai trees in the Secret Garden in Eden Villa Park. It was during the heian period (794-1191 AD) that Buddhist monks exported the long established art of miniaturising trees from China to Japan where the word bonsai means tray planting. Regarded as a living expression of natural harmony that should prevail between heaven and earth and nature and man, bonsai was for hundreds of years preserved by the Japanese nobility. It was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that there were significant bonsai exhibitors in Europe. The western world soon took this fascinating art form to its heart and today bonsai has a truly international following.
