Provides a grounding in some elements of bonsai care for beginners, in a clear manner.

Aimed at anyone new to the art of Bonsai, giving practical advice on what makes a good bonsai and how to select your first tree. He goes on to cover the key elements of watering and positioning an indoor tree to help ensure it grows successfully. The important aspect of how to check that a Bonsai needs watering is also explained. Watering is a subject that can be difficult to explain in a book, and is an area where a DVD can excel, as the viewer can see exactly what the presenter is discussing. The basic aspects of pruning are discussed with Lloyd explaining about adding shape and taper using pruning. Other areas such as repotting are discussed in less detail, presumably to be covered in Volume 2.
