There is a misconception that the art of bonsai is a specialized Japanese horticultural art form with no relationship to garden design. The truth is that bonsai design principles are universal design principles. An overview of the art of bonsai, bonsai display, and design elements in the Japanese garden will help the home gardener understand the basic concepts of Eastern design principles. This lecture shows how these design principles can be applied in conjunction. It is recommended, but not required, that participants attend “Taming of the Shrubs” class prior to this class. D. Silver
