  	</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent\; 
 color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;">“As a young boy\, I was always fascinated by tr
 ees and felt drawn to nature. As I grew older\, I craved a connection with
  trees and felt the urge to put my green fingers to work. The art of Bonsa
 i was a perfect fit for me as I lived in small apartments.		</span></p><p>
 <span style="background-color: transparent\; color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;">			<
 /span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent\; color: rgb(0\, 0
 \, 0)\;">I remember receiving my first Bonsai as a gift\; sadly\, it died.
  This sparked my determination to learn more about the art of Bonsai. Thro
 ugh my practice\, I gained valuable insights into the joy of working with 
 and looking after Bonsai. It offers you time to reflect on your day as you
  water them and care for them. It teaches you patience and allows you to l
 ive in the now\, which is the most incredible feeling.			</span></p><p><sp

  a tiny nursery in Linden\, Johannesburg\, where I can share my love and p
 assion with other Bonsai lovers.”</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
