The Complete Book of Bonsai: A Practical Guide to Its Art and Cultivation
Tomlinson, Harry
In The Complete Book of Bonsai: A Practical Guide to Its Art & Cultivation, Harry Tomlinson presents a comprehensive resource for the bonsai enthusiast, combining horticultural instruction, artistic insight and a broad photographic catalogue of species. The book traces the origins and development of bonsai, explains the classic styles and how they derive from natural models, then guides the reader step‑by‑step from raw material (seedling, cutting or garden‑centre tree) through to the finished bonsai, illustrating tools, potting, wiring, styling, maintenance and propagation. The heart of the volume is the photographic catalogue of over 100 species and shrubs (with more than 300 trees described overall) showing cultivation and styling details. Readers in Canada — including our club in Winnipeg — will appreciate the breadth of species discussion and the clarity of the visuals and technique.
