My Bonsai journey begins with a chance viewing of a Youtube video posted by Kairali channel . This led to a weekend trip to Nagercoil to see Mr Ravindran's Nikki Bonsai Garden, as pictured in the video. Words are not enough to describe the sheer magnitude and beauty of this garden. I soon began on my own with a few plants purchased from his garden and some cuttings acquired on my own. The enthusiastic purchase of a bonsai book from Flipkart completed my initial inventory .
On Sunday I joined the Kerala Bonsai Association, an impressive organisation driven by the vision and enthusiasm of its president Shri Ravindran, bonsai supremo of South India, secretary Ms Jaya Nair, herself a seasoned bonsai exponent of 17 years, and numerous illustrious members. A workshop had been organised at the Kerala Raj Bhavan, as part of a plan to establish a bonsai garden in the already extensive and beautifully maintained Raj Bhavan grounds. The sumptuous tea provided by expert catering staff kept us going through the three hours of enthralling bonsai education.
The Association president himself restyled and wired my casuarina bonsai in training. I left with a deep sense of gratitude and inner peace.
