A Rough History of Bonsai Across the World

Found this earlier today.

Suggested Timeline for the Development of Magical Miniature Landscapes, Up to Year 1

www.magiminiland.org

A rough history of the development of horticulture and technology related to keeping plants- especially trees- in pots. Everything from the development of ceramics technology for pots, to the keeping of potted tropical fruit in cool climates, to early greenhouse technologies, all in a rather neat timeline.

I posted the link in another thread earlier, but thought it was interesting enough to share more broadly.

Mind if I ask the topic and nature of your presentation?

 

[Lollybonsai]

Its about the history of bonsai! It's just a little slideshow and I'll give out a little piece of paper for notes!
