The art of bonsai, the creation of a miniaturized landscape that fulfills the human yearning for a connection to nature in the smallest of spaces, is on display at the Garden with rotating seasonally resplendent specimens.<\/p>\n\n\n

Portland Japanese Garden partners with local bonsai practitioners in Portland and from around the region. Bonsai on the Terrace will be rotated frequently, giving returning visitors a chance to see many different bonsai species and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional bonsai are located in the Jubitz Oregon Terrace, second floor of Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center, with accent plants placed on shelves along the stucco wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: Our bonsai are away for the winter, safe & cozy. <\/em>They will be returning to this space in the spring.<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
