“A little bit of Nature in the heart of the city”

WHAT ARE BONSAI GARDENS???

Rewind your memory some ten to fifteen years back and you can easily get a picture of grandmothers and mothers making a sort of garden in front of the house to grow daily-required vegetables. Also they would grow the often-needed flower for worship.

However, I have a “Karma” theory about the Bonsais. I always feel a deep sense of frustration and pity for the originally large trees trapped in a 6”x4”container. Imagine a banyan in its true habitat. The true can literally occupy at least half an acre. It can grow in all directions and act as a habitat to entire life cycles. However, these are actually quite beautiful as bonsais but one feels for them. My Indian mind often wonders if their bonsai birth is just their karma catching up with them, from another life.

Indoor gardening is becoming a popular concept as it acts as a medicine to person
addicted to it and also helps in decoration. When the word indoor garden comes to our mind the most common indoor garden type inevitably is bonsai. Though bonsai can be grown both outside and also indoor bonsai garden is quite a common one.
