Living Art Bonsai Society

   Welcome to all. We at LABS are very pleased at again being able to present a useful website to all members of the bonsai community. We as bonsai artists, are a bit impartial when we discuss this wonderful and interesting hobby.

   We apologize for our websites lengthy hiatus. We have persevered in growing little trees and sharing this wonderful art. This website endeavors to provide up to date and useful information in the art of bonsai. We will be including contact information here and we solicit your input for site improvements and or any bonsai related topic you’d like to see here.

   Summer begins and our little trees are growing rapidly. As one interested in bonsai we’re sure you realize very seldom do we encourage rapid growth (internode length) (the distance between buds on branches). We control this growth through branch pruning, root pruning, nutrient control among other characteristics of plant growth.

   Imagine a small forest on your patio. We often talk to our little trees as we work with them. They are our friends as we work with them. Oops too much information. The art of bonsai is a great hobby. Pick up a small tree and learn this art. Better yet join a bonsai group, (such as ours) and learn from their mistakes.

   It’s great to see you folks here. Feel free to roam our website, enjoy the information here and enjoy the many photos of our bonsai show trees. The images are zoomable, a great way to see our techniques. Unfortunately you will be able to also see the microscopic errors that we make from time to time. Come back often as we pursue site improvements and endeavor to create a resource for those interested in bonsai.
