Bonsai is a Japanese garden art - the term itself consists of two words - Bon means pot and Sai means plant. These small potted trees have been imaginatively staged in allotment gardens in the Japanese provinces for centuries. And since a bonsai tree is extremely long-lived and, like its big brothers, can live for several hundred years, it quickly became a symbol of Asian culture. The first Europeans brought the small trees to Europe, and from then on garden art enjoyed increasing popularity.
The tree fits particularly well in an allotment garden - because the outdoor tree makes the small outdoor area appear visually larger. The minimalist garden design - a small Japanese-style gazebo and a medium-sized lawn make it the central element. The garden appears open, modern and inviting at the same time. A beautiful oasis of peace!
This allotment garden looks very large - and successfully replicates the landscape of Japan. Green meadows, high mountains and green trees symbolize the beautiful Japanese nature. Of course, a small stone fountain and a birdhouse should not be missing.
A beautiful small rock garden with a garden pond and bonsai trees can be created just in front of the Japanese-style gazebo (a functional building made of bamboo). A beautiful oneOasis of peace, where the soul can relax after a long day at work.
The advantage of a potted tree is that it can be displayed in the garden in summer and decorate the house in winter. The potted plant looks more beautiful when decorated with river stones.
In the courtyard in particular, the options for landscaping and planting are rather limited. A rock garden and bonsai trees can successfully replace the cozy flower beds.
