Find peace, calm and serenity through the ancient practice of cultivating bonsai Rooted in ancient Eastern philosophies, every part of a bonsai tree is symbolic of our life and experiences. A bonsai shedding leaves is symbolic of letting go our material possessions; tending to the roots helps support and nourish the tree, much the same as our own beliefs and values, and many more aspects of bonsai offer serene life lessons to help us enrich and enjoy our lives. The book will also delve into the philosophy and lessons to be learnt from tending to bonsai, contain a 'potted' history of the fascinating ancient culture and offer a comprehensive guide to cultivating bonsai.
Mark Akins runs the Beechfield Bonsai Company, a premium bonsai retailer and nursery situated in a peaceful corner of Shropshire, UK, committed to promoting the art of bonsai, along with the physical and mental health benefits the ancient culture has to offer. Be More Bonsai is his first book.
