| Plants in the Bonsai Village start sprouting in less than a week and can live for years! This 9-inch diameter dome terrarium includes five kinds of trees and shrubs-Elm, Lilac, Pea Shrub, Beauty Bush, and Butterfly Bush. Complete your miniature living landscape with thoughtfully placed boulders, a Buddha statue, bonsai decals, plant stakes, and natural gravel. For ages 4 and up! Trees have been highly valued by humans since the beginning of time. In fact, the word "paradise" is derived from the Persian word "pardes," which translates to "a park planted with trees." Now a little piece of paradise can be yours when you grow your own Bonsai Forest with a variety of trees and undergrowth shrubs.
The best bonsai are grown from seed because there is no trace left on the plant of the cultivation methods used to train it into its final shape. Often, trees and shrubs need to undergo some sort of cooling period or stratification process in order to sprout, but the seeds contained in the Bonsai Village do not. They are quick to sprout with only water and sunlight!
