Pop Bonsai $15.98 So what exactly is "pop bonsai"? Bonsai like you’ve never seen before-a "freestyle" version, in fun containers, that reflects the author’s breakaway approach to this ancient art. Pop Bonsai involves taking a tiny seedling, trimming its branches and leaves, and wiring the trunk and branches to bend them into almost any style. The result: a living work of art, for next to no cost, to display as you like-in a ball of moss, on a can of beer, even in a pair of shoes or an eggcup! Naturally this does require some basic bonsai techniques, and advice on looking after plants. But in contrast to classical bonsai, where the aim is carefully to reproduce natural scenery in miniature, pop bonsai stresses the imagination and creativity of people living modern lives. Throughout, Pop Bonsai takes a no-fuss approach. Almost any kind of tree or foliage plant can be used, and you’re encouraged to grow it from scratch. Before starting, you are told what you should know about trees in general, with hints on choosing the right one for your purpose. Instructions on care and maintenance-soil, temperature, pruning, watering and fertilizers-are provided in a sensible, easy-to-follow way that should take the tension out of "gardening" even for those who have never tried it. In your own home or on a balcony or at work, pop bonsai will let you enjoy the wonder of the changing seasons close-up, and remind you how precious and fragile life can be. But, cared for properly, your tree should live for decades. And in the process it will give you a taste of the enormous satisfaction to be gained from creating, and watching over, your own living work of art. |

The Secret Techniques of Bonsai $21.98 In The Secret Techniques of Bonsai, the author of the groundbreaking Bonsai With American Trees teams up with his son to offer not only the basics for creating perfect bonsai, but also secret techniques they’ve developed over years of careful work and observation. The Kawasumis provide detailed, easy-to-follow information about growing bonsai from seedlings or beginner plants; expert advice on shaping, pruning, training, grafting and repotting trees; and new techniques for using tools. And, although the Kawasumi family is worldrenowned for their bonsai tool design, their instructions allow gardeners to improvise with other readily-accessible bonsai, gardening or even simple workshop tools. Step-by-step photographs accompany the text, many in full-color. Masakuni Kawasumi III, the first qualified tree doctor for bonsai in Japan, contributes his unique insights to make this an invaluable resource for beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike. |

Art Of The Bonsai Potato $12.98 Our Bonsai Potato takes 4 to 6 weeks to grow, versus a lifetime for a traditional bonsai tree-and the potato does all the work, since it requires no sun, water, or fertilizer. This tongue-in-cheek kit is a humorous poke at Western culture’s desire for inner peace and tranquility coupled with our hunger for instant gratification and chronic lack of time. Now, at least a semblance of inner harmony can be achieved in a fraction of the time it takes to nurture a real bonsai. Potato not included. |

Bloody Bonsai $3.98 James P. Dandy — yes, that would make him Jim Dandy — couldn’t believe he’d said yes to going on an Elderhostel down on the New Jersey coast in the cold, ugly, gray days of waning winter. His wife had died a couple of years before, and Jim didn’t really feel up to meeting new people and being thrust into new situations without her. But go he did, grumbling and pessimistically, and only half-heartedly interested in learning how to design, cut, sculpt, mold, trim, water and grow bonsai trees. Little did he know that the "new people" he was concerned with would include the lovely, blue-eyed artist Dodee Swisher; or the gruff, chain-smoking ex-army man assigned as his roommate at the motel; or the slick Hispanic motel manager; or the raven-haired gymnast who exercised on her balcony every morning; or the liquid-eyed East Indian woman; or the couple from Philadelphia who were taking a break from the garbage business… Well, really; anyone of them could have rammed that bonsai tree into the chest of the obsequesious little motel employee who Dodee and Jim discovered on the second day of the Elderhostel. But the police focus their attention on Dodee and Jim — they did have that argument with the boy the night before, hadn’t they? — getting Dodee all worked up into a swivet about having to find the real killer before they were jailed for the deed. When another body turns up, again it’s Jim & Dodee who discover it. The situation rapidly heats up and Dodee is kidnapped, presumably to shut her up about what she’s already learned… |
