Herbal Bonsai

A friend gave this book to me knowing I would enjoy it. She was right. I've always wanted to make a bonsai, an edible one at that, so this gave me the opportunity to do so. Concise, easy to read, simple instructions, and great pictures. All this makes this book a must have for anyone wanting to start out creating an herbal bonsai.

This is the first book I have seen on the use of herbs as bonsai material. It is great book. It is informative and very descriptive with many black and white illustrations used to help explain text. Having only one-hundred pages, it is packed full of information on selecting herbs (including author recommended choices) suitable for use as bonsai. Training, developing, potting, shaping, caring for, and displaying herbal bonsai are all covered in detail. References and resources include mail-order nurseries. Terrific for beginners who don't want to invest a lot of money, but would like to try their hand at this hobby.
