Join me on an unforgettable journey to the Autumn Bonsai Festival 2025 in George, hosted by Kat River Kai. 🌿
This year’s theme — The African Landscape — brought together breathtaking displays, inspiring demonstrations, and powerful stories rooted in the beauty of our continent.

In this video, I take you along from our road trip through Wilderness and the famous Map of Africa viewpoint, to visiting a local bonsai friend, and finally arriving at the festival packed with creativity, learning, and community.

🎍 Presenters featured include:
– Tola Smit & Amanda de Beer

Whether you’re new to bonsai or a seasoned grower, this event was full of inspiration — from tiny shohin trees to landscapes inspired by wild baobabs.
