Bonsai Garden | Miniature Zen Garden derived from the ancient art of Penjing.
The idea of miniature bonsai garden has its origin in China. They were the precursor to the art of growing bonsai and called Penjing. The Chinese Emperors would ask their artists to re-create beautiful landscapes and scenes, which they had experienced on their travels.
The Japanese then perfected bonsai over the following centuries and refined the art into the growing of a single highly defined tree in a pot. However, the art of landscapes and scenes still prevails and is know as ‘Penjing’.
Penjing are usually miniature landscapes. As a result, they display a combination of rocks, trees and figures, and are usually considered to be more wild and natural in form. Penjing today encompasses artistically formed trees, other plants, landscapes, and figurines. These are otherwise commonly termed ‘Bonsai Gardens‘.
Woodland bonsai gardens are beautiful and creative in their own right. They often appeal to artists and children alike. They are easy to care for. Some gardens are designed with the outdoors in mind, while others are suitable for growing in the home.

I am obsessed with my little zen garden, the bonsai came looking very healthy and well cared for, and packaged very securely. It comes with all the items pictured and makes a very cute set up
A very nice quality ornament. It looks very cute standing next to my bonsai tree. It's bigger and weightier than I thought it would be. Nice and substantial, not flimsy at all.
Absolutely love the little torii gate. It is of beautiful quality and will look great in my sister's little zen garden. I purchased it as a gift for her and it arrived very quickly and well packed. I would not hesitate to recommend Bonsai Direct. Thank you
Bonsai Garden - The art of 'Penjing'
Penjing is a Chinese natural form of bonsai which incorporates landscapes and scenes which are made up for trees, rocks, ornaments, figures and rocks.
Penjing, also known as penzai, is the ancient Chinese art of depicting artistically formed trees, other plants, and landscapes in miniature. They differ from bonsai in that they include other plants and ornaments to complete the landscapes. In essence; it is the re-creation of classical Chinese gardens in miniature using miniature trees and rockeries. Their artistic composition captures the spirit of nature and distinguishes them from Japanese bonsai trees.
