US Bonsai Gardens to Visit
Visiting a Japanese garden is a serene experience. It beckons its visitors to leave the world behind and enjoy the beauty and splendor of nature. Bonsai are included in most Japanese gardens and enhance their uniqueness and beauty. In a Japanese garden you are encouraged to observe, listen and reflect. Visiting just one of these gardens is a treat for all of the senses.
The United States National Bonsai and Penjing Museum in Washington DC has one of the largest collections of bonsai and penjing trees in North America. The garden began when Japan donated 53 bonsai trees to the people of the United States to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. It now contains over 150 plants donated by American and Japanese bonsai masters and penjing from China. The exhibit also includes viewing stones and ikebana which is Japanese flower arranging. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day of the year except Christmas.
The Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection in Federal Way Washington was created in 1989 by the Weyerhaeuser Company to honor their trade relations with Pacific Rim nations and as a tribute to the Washington state centennial. It contains over 50 bonsai trees from around the world and is free of charge. It is opened year round March - September 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Thursdays and October - February 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Thursdays and Fridays. The bonsai represents works by renowned artists and several of their trees have won awards.
Elandan Gardens located in Bremerton Washington is a family-owned garden that is opened to the public. The collection includes trees more than 1000 years old. The owner, Dan Robinson, has spent more than 40 years dedicated to the art of bonsai. Built in 1993, it is located on six acres of land off the shores of Puget Sound. It is a dynamic garden, changing from season to season as Dan continues to add more bonsai to his collection. The garden is open Tuesdays through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are closed on Mondays and the month of January.
Harvard University Arboretum or the Arnold Arboretum is home to the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection. Most of the trees in the Bonsai collection were imported by Larz Anderson in 1913 when he returned after serving as ambassador to Japan. The trees were donated to the Arboretum in 1937 and 1949 with the deaths of Larz and eventually his wife, Isabel. They also donated funds to build a shade house for their display. Today, due to theft and inexperience with the bonsai when they were first donated, there are only 15 of the original 39 trees left, but the collection is still enjoyable to look at. The bonsai can be viewed mid April through early November from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The international Bonsai Arboretum is owned by William N. Valavanis and is dedicated to the art of bonsai. It is mainly an educational facility to teach bonsai, but it also sells bonsai equipment. The bonsai garden can be viewed by appointment only. It is an unusual garden full of sculptured trees and rare plant material. It is located in West Henrietta, New York, a suburb of Rochester.
One of the most spectacular conservatories in the United States is the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It features 13 indoor garden rooms and 6 outdoor garden areas. One of the outdoor gardens is the Japanese Courtyard Garden that includes Japanese lanterns, a quaint stream and a beautiful bonsai collection. The conservatory is open year round, seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 9 p.m. on Fridays.

Learn Gardenia Bonsai Growing Tips
Gardenia is a shrub which is a genus of around 250 flowering plants. They are mostly found in the tropical and sub tropical regions of the world. They are evergreen in nature and have naturally small leaves, which make them a suitable for being grown as a bonsai tree. They bear bright white flowers during the mid spring to mid summer period and certain species also produce a very strong scent.
If you are growing a gardenia bonsai, then it is important to understand there specific needs and caring tips. Gardenias do well in kept in partial shade to full sunlight. During the very hot summer months you should bring them under the shade of bigger tree to protect the leaves of the tree. They prefer a moist soil, hence you should keep a regular check on the water level and not allow it to dry out completely.
The best time to train your gardenia bonsai is from late spring season to autumn season. Take special precaution of not wiring your plant while it is setting new buds, as the process might destroy them. Pruning should be carried out after the flowering season is over. Ideally the best time to prune is during the end of spring season or during the autumn season. You should not prune your tree when the temperature is very high as this might lead the cut to die out.
Re-pot your gardenia bonsai in every two years during the winter season or after blooming. Use soil with water retaining capacity along with a mixture of organic material. You could also carry some root pruning exercise during this time, although it does not have to be too drastic.
Check your bonsai tree regularly for any signs of pest attacks or infections, it is a good idea to use some kind of disinfectant when required.
With some good care a gardenia bonsai can make a very good addition to any garden.
Hope you have found this information useful. Please visit TheBonsaiHub for information on bonsai.

Bonsai Ochna Serrulata For Your Balcony Garden
The Ochna serrulata makes an interesting outdoor bonsai subject for growers in Zones 14-24, or anywhere with winter protection. Its foliage is attractive as the leaves change color during the seasons, its flowers are striking, and the seed formation is unique. This evergreen shrub from South Africa has a slow-growing, spreading habit and a trunk that can develop the character traits that are desired in the cultivation of a bonsai.
Ochna serrulata prefers a soil that is slightly acidic and should perform well in most bonsai mixes. A balanced fertilizer should be used most of the year, with attention paid to iron to maintain the deep green leaf color. As winter approaches, switching to a 1-5-5 fertilizer will reduce leaf flush during the coldest months, while still providing the right balance for maintaining root health and preparing for flower bud development. As with most bonsai requiring iron, I like to add a couple of non-galvanized washers or spent nails to the soil mix. The acidic soil promotes the rusting of the iron providing a satisfactory iron chelate for the plant.
Ochna serrulata has durable fine-toothed oblong leaves that are a bronzy color as the plant flushes out with new growth during the spring, which then changes to a rich deep green as the leaves mature. The serrated leaves have barbs, but they are soft barbs, that are visually pleasing and easy to work around. The flower buds are held close to the stem and will develop into bright yellow buttercup-type blossoms in early summer. The flowers themselves are very attractive, but the spent flowers are unique. The yellow flower petals will abscise, but the sepals will remain and slowly turn an intense red color. From the center of the red sepals green seed fruits will develop, ripening to a shiny vivid black color. When the fruits have ripened, the appearance of the black fruits against the red sepals looks very much like the eyes, ears, and nose of a mouse. This is why the plant is often referred to as the "Mickey Mouse Plant", and a reason why young and old love it.
When pruning Ochna serrulata, plant form and structure should be considered. It is necessary to prune to regulate growth and remove root suckers and trunk sprouts emerging from latent buds. You will also want to thin overly dense branches from the miniature canopy that may reduce air circulation and light from reaching the flower buds. To increase bonsai height, pinch or cut out the growing tips of the lateral branches. To increase the fullness, pinch or cut the terminal buds at the end of branches. Location of your cuts is important. If it is too close to the vegetative bud or flower spur, the bud or spur may die. If too far from the point that you want to induce growth, an inactive stub will remain that, lacking metabolic activity, will usually shrivel, desiccate, and abscise, leaving dead tissue that may leave an entry point for disease. In most cases, the cut should be about one quarter inch from the bud you want to encourage, and the cut should be made at about a forty-five degree angle so that the apex of the cut is above the bud.
I want to emphasize the importance of a sharp tool for all garden pruning, whether it is a pruning knife, shears or saw. Nice clean cuts will callus over more quickly and easily than ragged cuts that have torn the bark. If the cuts are clean, the active cells in the cambium layer of the stem or branch will grow inward and neatly close off the open wound. (Writing this short article on Ochna, made me realize, that perhaps more complete information on pruning plants in general, should be the subject of next few articles.
Because Ochna serrulata likes a bit of shade for best performance, it should make a great bonsai for any balcony that is not south facing in Zones 14-24, or anywhere with winter protection. With attractive foliage, striking flowers, and unique seed, this slow-growing shrub can be trained to develop the character traits that are desired in a bonsai subject.
