*Most people think of bonsai gardening as a development of Japan, but the earliest record of dwarf gardnening is in Chinese wall paintings from AD706. Known as "penjing" in China, the dwarfing technique of gardening was not brought to Japan until AD1195, and not called "bonsai" until much later.

Trees have been highly valued by humans since the beginning of time. In fact, the word "paradise" is derived from the Persian word "pardes," which means "a park planted with trees." Research has shown that patients heal more quickly when they have a view of trees. Unfortunately, trees are generally too large to be cultivated indoors.
"Bonsai" trees and plants have been dwarfed by centuries of breeding so that they can be grown indoors. The finest Bonsai plants are grown from seed so that there is no trace of the plant being forced into its final shape. Many bonsai trees and shrubs need to undergo some sort of cooling period or stratification process in order to sprout, but the seeds included here do not. They are quick to sprout with only water and sunlight!
