Going Bonsai- R.Morgan Lockwood

With humor and knowledge, Master Gardener Clyde Holt
revealed how the diminutive world of bonsai
can produce a BIG impact.
Here he is with just a few of the 300 specimens that he grows.

Like most gardeners, he was generous with his expertise
and eager to share the secrets
of this ancient Japanese art form.
It's easier and less expensive than many
would have you believe.
And many plants that are suited to our locale, such as junipers, yaupon holly, and even azalea can be worked into mini-masterpieces.
The gnarled trunks that look like aged trees are really relatively young specimens.
Clyde was very modest about his abilities,
but in truth he was a true artist of bonsai.
