The Little Book of Bonsai is a stylish, fun and gifty package, making it the perfect companion for anyone looking to embark on the latest house plant craze.Matthew Puntigam’s interest in gardens took him to Japan, where he studied garden design and bonsai. After moving to New York, he turned to bonsai again as a creative and grounding practice. Proving no space too small for nature to thrive, his first bonsai garden started on a third floor fire escape (which he does not recommend).
He is the founder of Dandy Farmer, a bonsai studio and shop based in Brooklyn which sells bonsai, offers maintenance and plant-sitting services, and runs workshops to introduce the art of bonsai to the community. When not caring for plants, he also designs and builds gardens. He dreams of putting a bonsai tree on every windowsill.
