BONSAI!

I took a bonsai class at Sunny Bonsai last weekend. a great 2h class for beginners. i learned lots, and had a blast.

so, i got a few starter seedling tree’s, to learn some things. and i had dug up a hazelnut tree seedling a few weeks , and i wanted to try to bonsai it also.

so, here we go.
