Happy World Bonzai Day!

 we found where the winter storage Bonzai were, and they will be at the end of this series.  Did you see when World Bonsai Day is? Yep, today!

 Tai enjoyed considering the way the trees were arranged, and treated to create a unique living design

 We could see little buds on many branches on these that were already outside.

 The display is a wandering area between plain walls, which sets off the trees nicely. Wires hold this tree branches in place.

 A collection of "how-to" instructions still leaves one wondering just how do you know which roots and branches to cut off!

 The spring trees in the background make it hard to see the wonderful little forest on this piece of wood.

 A simple clay pot with bark imprints. We think the dirt doesn't go all the way down in it.

 When moss and other plants are combined, it creates a container-garden.

 Here the grass is hand cut with scissors regularly!

 I think this is the one with a marble base.

 Another view of the marble base one.

We visited a small greenhouse where some of the over-wintered Bonzai were displayed, and protected from the elements.

And I must mention the Buncombe County Library system's Zoom pass program, which is how we were able to park without paying the $14 fee. By going to the library internet site, and having a local library card, you are eligible to sign up and receive free passes to several local attractions which are family friendly.  You have to make a reservation on Zoom, and then pick it up within 48 hours of when you'll be going, at the closest library branch.  It's a great treat!
