Science has told us time and time again that being in nature has a positive impact on our mental health and our overall sense of well being. Studies have also shown that by having and caring for a small piece of nature at home, can improve our well being through this calming activity. Growing and maintaining a bonsai tree has shown to do just that. Fairly inexpensive to start, with many options in trees to suit one's creative tastes, there is surely a type of tree for everyone. By maintaining your tree, you are able to shape it in any way you please, allowing you to make your own living work of art. Not only does this activity improve our emotional state, it's great for all ages, from young children, to the elderly. For many, it can be a soothing and creative hobby.
Starter kits like the one above are quite common and easy to find online or at your local gardening store.
Here are some examples of trees that have had more time to grow.
No matter where you start, or your age, perhaps a bonsai tree is right for you.
