'Bonsai Foundations' closely follows the curriculum of a successful Foundations Development program, an 8 lesson (x3 hours each) training program I have run for a couple of years, at my local club. It's for those new or not so new to bonsai who want to cover the basics in a more structured way than is possible to pick up at the usual club activities.
