Bring nature and relaxation to your life with this engaging bonsai garden kit. More than just a potted plant, this is a grove of miniature trees that you foster along, from seedling to sprout to bonsai forest.
These tiny trees are actually ancestors of the giant California redwood. Called Dawn redwood, they were thought to be extinct until the 1940s when one was discovered growing in a rice field in central China. And even though its towering relative is an evergreen tree, the Dawn redwood is one of only two known deciduous conifers. In the fall its leafy needles turn from green, to yellow, to copper, bringing the pageant of the changing seasons to your desk or kitchen window.
Kit includes: tree and moss seed, recycled steel seedling training pots, seed starting wafers,
growing medium, bonsai scissors, rake with spade, river stone, and directions.
Handmade in the USA.
$50.00
ITEM NUMBER: 18762

My husband and I have been shopping at uncommon goods for a while now for each other. Recently, he got me this awesome gift for our anniversary and I love it. Within two weeks I saw something green sprouting, I left the plant inside my dimmed guest room. I was so surprised to see it growing so fast. The three pots represented my husband and our 2 dogs, his plant grew first. I look forward to seeing more green.

Comments aboutBONSAI FOREST:
Got this as part of a two year wedding anniversary gift. The theme was "Growing Love." She loves taking care and nurturing things, so I thought this would be a lovely gift. And it was! The only thing she was wary of was the instructions. They were kind of vague and it has been almost two weeks and only one of the pots has showed signs of life.

Comments aboutBONSAI FOREST:
I purchased this as a gift for my father. He was very pleased with it. It came in a very sturdy and attractive packaging. These types of plants require constant (daily) care, and are therefore may not be appropriate for someone who is absentminded or travels a lot.

Comments aboutBONSAI FOREST:
This is a cute product but you have failed to think about three important things.
1. Trees don't like to grow indoor on your desk in a heated or cooled office. They want to be outside, even bonsai! 2. Humans have short attention spans. It will take 5 years for the product to look anything like the trees you are showing. 3. Not only do the Dawn Redwoods change colors in the fall they also loose their needles and look pretty unattractive through the winter. Uncommon Goods should have done a little more research!

Parents like it.
Service & Delivery comments:
I had this shipped to my parents. They really were impressed how well this was packaged and how nice someone did packing it. I just wanted to pass that on, and let the person know that packed it that I appreciate them taking the care they did and what a nice job it was! They should receive a reward of some sort!
