Steven Yin is one of the country's leading bonsai growers. He's been working with the mini trees for 20 years and runs the country's biggest commercial bonsai nursery with some 5000 trees.
Bonsai are associated with harmony and peacefulness and for many there is a spiritual side to growing and caring for bonsai. Steven's bonsai practice began as a hobby and has grown into a business where he and his mother spend hours every day pruning, checking, potting and doing other maintenance to their trees.
He's also teaching classes in the practice. Steven talks to Kathryn about the value of having a bonsai garden and how the art can bring inner peace.
