It has been pointed out that I surround myself with trees. My furniture is wood, my favorite plants are trees, I love forests, my personal logos are all drawn from Aesculus Hippocastanum, and now I’m growing my own mini forest.

With some help from Alyssa, my Bonsai forest now has two younguns that’ll hopefully be contributing to the foliage. After a random comment during a phone conversation a few months ago, she took some rosemary cuttings and recently overnighted me two of the now well-rooted sprigs. Yes, rosemary, as in the herb, so it won’t be a true bonsai… but I figured for my first time trying to raise and sculpt my own tree I’d go with something that’s used to being small.
