New Space in Brazil...

Friends, Would like to show a new space that is here in formation in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
One is about the start of the implantation of a new center of studies of the art of the Bonsai.
That he will be created by the Chácara Tropical .
With focus in tropical natives and, with emphasis to the professionals who work with these varieties.

Even though we still have a long road ahead, it's great to see a place like this in Brazil. It's a store, that's true, but even so Edson Freitas (the actual responsable for the store) offers once a month a free open space for students who wants to practice the art there.
Also, once a month we recive a different bonsai enthusiast to teach some techniques... Most of them are brazilian, but this year we'll have Salvatore Liporace (in September) and Min Hsuan Lo (in December). I think that bringing international masters is essencial if we want to develop the art of bonsai here.

I spend most of my time there (but I do not use that horrible hoodie everyday ), as I am responsable for their website (and future online store), I've chosen the bonsai part as my office. Great, isn't it? Better than stay locked in an office all day long...

Vinicius,

Great statement about the office ! I started bonsai over 30 years ago for the same reason....as an escape from my office. What a world opened up to me !!!!! You will find that the "road" is not that long, but the journey is worth every moment.

Best of Luck,

Ed Trout
