I recently finished "Bonsai for Beginners - 3 Simple Strategies for Starting a Bonsai Learn How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Your Miniature Tree" and I absolutely loved it! The author does a great job of breaking down the fundamentals of gardening, such as soil preparation, fungal control, and watering, which are all essential for caring for Bonsai trees. These tips and tricks explained in the book make it feel like anyone can give it a try and I'd suggest it to anyone who wants to try out a new hobby! The book also highlights the art form of Bonsai and is a great source of inspiration for any Bonsai journey. What's more, the narration of Chad Cerda is excellent, making the book even more enjoyable to listen and read. I would highly recommend this audiobook to other bonsai aficionados and beginners alike.

I can't wait to start growing my own Bonsai Tree!

Heavenly Bonsai has written a great book for those of us that are beginners in caring for our Bonsai Trees and the narration by Chad Cerda is spot on. In a 3 hr. book with so much information and taking notes normally you would have to pause or rewind regularly to capture all the information but the narration is so good it hardly required much/if any rewinding / pausing.

Bonsai is really art not gardening. However, there is still some basic principles of gardening needed. Soil prep, fungus control, watering, etc. But mostly its ART.

The gardening portion of the book that I found best was how to find the best pot for your tree. it is amazing all the options and thanks to Heavenly Bonsai, i am sure i have picked the correct one.

As some of you may know the Art of Bonsai is a slow but without a doubt for me the best part of the book was the section for sneaky ways to fast forward the growth of my Bonsai

Thanks for writing such a great book!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for help with getting started on their Bonsai collection.

Bonsai trees are so cool and I've always wanted to grow one. This book had all the important information I needed to know to get started. It covers different types of bonsai, soil selection, pot options, and styles. The guide goes further by explaining the essential tools required for cutting, maintenance, and repotting. It also includes practical tips for starting a bonsai from scratch, even if you have zero prior experience, which I do.

Great for total newbies
