The Four Elements That Make A Bonsai Garden Special
from:There is a lot of joy in growing bonsai tress. There is a special peace that comes with watching these miniature trees develop into mature trees full with flowers and fruits. There is an immense satisfaction that emanates from a perfectly grown bonsai tree – you could compare the feeling with watching your children growing up from birthday to birthday. Many people come to love these types of trees so much that they go one step ahead and create a bonsai garden.
The Bonsai Garden
The bonsai garden takes a lot of planning, organizing and work. With bonsai tree you have only the tree to worry about, however with a garden you would have to pay attention to each and every aspect of the environment as well. For the garden to feel perfect, you would need to create a miniature landscape with everything in it grown on the same scale. There are four elements that would make your bonsai garden perfect – (i) nature-like look, (ii) perfectly matched bonsai trees, (iii) beautifully sculptured trees, and (iv) complementary containers.
The first thing that your bonsai garden should have is a natural look. That means that everything else in the garden would have to be as small as your bonsai trees. For example, you could have a miniature lake, miniature rocks, miniature stones, etc. All the other plants in the garden also should be of the same size as the bonsai trees.
The second element of a perfect bonsai garden would be perfectly matching bonsai trees. For a garden to look good the trees should feel like they belong there. The trees should complement each other perfectly so much so that when you look at the garden it should make a perfect image. Each tree should look natural, which means the branches of the trees should have the same pattern as fully grown up trees have in real life with the strong ones low and thinner ones tapering towards the top.
The third element would be the shape of the trees and their branches. The branches of each tree in the bonsai garden should be such that would allow the sun rays reach to all parts of the trees. In this manner the trees would stay healthy and so would all other elements in the garden.
Lastly, the garden should have perfectly matched pots or containers. In Japan, the tree is usually grown to match the pot – so perfect and important is the match between the tree and its container.
When you have all the elements combined just right, your bonsai garden would look like poetry to the eyes – and you would feel like an accomplished poet.
