At a Glance

The centuries-old craft of bonsai has become a popular hobby and art form that is practiced around the world. This is the second lecture of a two-part series presented by Michael James, the National Arboretum’s bonsai curator, and Ann McClellan, author of Bonsai and Penjing, Ambassadors of Peace and Beauty. The presentation will include a live showing of all that’s involved in re-potting a bonsai and tips on how to care for these miniature trees. Michael and Ann will also give an overview of bonsai as an art form and share more stories about the collections at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum.
