Back Garden Bonsai
Welcome to Back Garden Bonsai. My name is Ian and you can follow my trees as they grow. (I have about 50)
I upload a new video every Sunday, where I show the progress of one of my trees in a year long time lapse showing the monthly progress and the work I do along the way.
I have put a decade of knowledge here for you to learn from and start growing your own trees. My website is full information on bonsai techniques where I cover common questions, care guides and also some progress updates of my own bonsai trees.
Bonsai doesn't need to be difficult or expensive and with a little bit of knowledge and time you can turn basic material into some interesting. It is a very slow hobby, but its isn't hard and I will happily tell you everything I know.
If you are new to bonsai you should start by reading my bonsai resources page - https://www.backgardenbonsai.com/beginner-bonsai-resources/
