Who doesn't love miniature trees? The art of bonsai is beloved by so many people around the world, yet there seems to be a lot of misconceptions behind their creation. In this video, we do a deep dive into not only the method of creating bonsai's, but also the science behind it.

I have to give a huge shout out to Kimura Bonsai for helping me with this video:
https://www.kimurabonsainursery.com/
They give bonsai classes for only $30!

I am not sponsored by them, but we gotta do what we can to support small businesses, and they went out of their way to help me out with this video.
