I was browsing through my cellphone photos when I saw these pictures of Bonsai plants. It was a few years ago when I took these photos at the North Carolina Arboretum, but I figured that I haven’t shared them here on the blog yet.
We have visited the North Carolina Arboretum a couple of times before and it is such a beautiful place to explore especially if you love plants. It is located in the southwest of Asheville and is only a few minute drive from where we live.
The North Carolina Arboretum is not only about plants. They also have events and exhibits the whole year through. You may check their website for the calendar of events. They even have a a light show which is called ‘Winter Lights’ during the Holiday season. I have been wanting to see it. Maybe this coming Holiday season. We’ll see.
I have always been fascinated with Bonsai plants. And the number of Bonsai varieties that I saw at the Arboretum was amazing. I have only taken a few pictures, but I saw a lot.
I would like to have one Bonsai although I still have to do a lot of research on how to take care of it. They’re just so adorable for me. Like you have a little tree inside your house. 🙂
Visiting the North Carolina Arboretum is a great idea especially if you have kids. There’s so much to see and learn from their exhibits from which both adults and kids alike would benefit actually.
We also saw huge sculptures made of LEGO pieces which I haven’t shared here yet. We made sure to see that exhibit because our son was a huge fan of LEGO at that time. I will have to do a post about that here soon.
Have you visited an Arboretum before?
That looks like an absolutely gorgeous tree! I have been to in Arboretum before but not that one. They are definitely fun to explore.
I would adore this place. This is what I love to do the most, look and admire gardens, plants and trees!
Those trees are so special, and unique. I do not get there often but if I travel to North Carolina I have to see this garden.
How pretty! I’ve always liked the bonsai tree. It would be neat to see one in person.
You captured some really amazing photos. I would love to attend an event in the future.
I love bonsai. There’s a lovely arboretum near me that has some stunning ones on display. Your pictures look fabulous, and when I make it to NC I’ll go here!
I seriously love bonsai trees so much. These look so beautiful. Your picture make me want to go to the bonsai gardens in California again so bad.
Having to experience to take care of a bonsai is great. The treatment and ways to nourish it is a little different. Those are works of art.
Everyone would love to have this in their home. I am actually a big fan of this. This is always a big thing for gardeners and landscapers.
Ever since I was a little kid and watched the Karate Kid, I have wanted one of these plants. I would love to learn about how to take care of them and pick some up. Maybe someday I will make the time to do that, so pretty!
I love Bonsai trees. They’re so beautiful. We have a nice area at one of our zoos that has a bunch of Bonsai trees. It’s nice to be able to look at them.
I really love visiting arboretums! Those bonsai trees are incredible, I’d love to see them for myself.
Bonsai trees are absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see that LEGO post you plan on putting up soon.
I would have never thought there would be bonsai trees in an arboretum like this. They look pretty cool.
That’s the biggest bonsai tree I’ve ever seen! I bought a small Bonsai plant, but it didn’t last long.
How cute are these bonsai! I know that is a lot of work and care beside any of this bonsai!
I absolutely LOVE Bonsai plants! I am definitely visiting here next time we’re out that way. I would be in my peaceful little heaven here!
My friend just went there as well. She sent me so many beautiful photos! I would love to go myself. I work in a greenhouse and I love going to arboretums.
Wow the bonsai exhibit at North Carolina Aboretum looks amazing! What a gorgeous collection. I love bonsai trees so I would love to check this out!
