Chicago Botanical Garden Part 2: Dave's Bonsai E439

In this episode, I talk with Chris Baker, the curator of the bonsai collection at the Chicago Botanical Garden. So many more trees to see and talk of his philosophies on bonsai including summer tips and general bonsai practices. Get a cup of Tea and sit back and enjoy.

I'm not sure if Lake Michigan is ever warm. It was always cold when I lived in the area. 🥶 What an amazing tour and discussion. ❤❤❤❤😊😊

What a fabulous video Dave!! Amazing trees and amazing knowledge shared, I learned a few things, Thank you so much!! Chris mentioned holding a tree back because of cicadas!!! OMG! My eyes flew open wide! We have them here in my yard, in fact my chihuahua insists on playing with them and trying to bring them alive into the house! I did not think they could be munching on my trees. I will be watching my brand new BRT closely!! Thanks again Dave for such a fantastic video! I hope I can get to Chicago one day to see their exhibit.
