Bonsai Garden
30 August 2022

Walking along the riverbank, and suddenly this temple to life itself crosses my path. It’s a small garden – but it contains the most bonsai plants I’ve ever seen in once place. I admire beauty wherever I find it – I love a good painting, statue or building. But for sheer exuberance and vibrancy – it’s hard to beat nature showing off in a garden. Despite the limited space – the scale of this is impressive – because passing by each of the bonsai means that you can very easily spend hours in the little garden, and not see it all.

Peter van der Walt is a fiction author, although you may find some non-fiction and the odd essay out there. Fans can find his newsletter, posts, updates and developments at petervanderwalt.com. Currently, he is hard at work on his next story. When not writing, he has far too many interests to reasonably keep up with. He lives with his partner in Devon, England.
