Guides
BSSF is an organization that promotes learning and the enjoyment of bonsai. We endeavour to help people understand how to take care of their trees and how to artistically style them so that they can gain the most enjoyment possible from each one.
This is the main page of our guides section, a compilation of articles and resources aimed toward providing instruction and reminders for bonsai work in the San Francisco bay area.
To start off, here are “The Very Basics.”
The Care Calendar is a full year guide to bonsai care. Print it out and tape it on your refridgerator as a reminder for what you should be doing. (This is a somewhat large file so be patient if you have a slow internet connection.)
The Care Calendar is also broken down into two-month sections, showing more immediate reminders with accompanying seasonal suggestions in the text of the articles.
