Bonsai Of Brooklyn

About Bonsai Of Brooklyn

Bonsai of Brooklyn was founded in 1976 by Paul Graviano. In 1964, while looking for some houseplants in a local plant shop, he spotted a Dwarf Japanese Juniper bonsai in a five or six inch pot. He was so fascinated by this tiny miracle that he had to have it. It would prove to be the most influential purchase of his life. The next day it was off to the library to find any books available on the subject. He began to re-pot and shape trees from local nurseries into bonsai trees. His collection grew from there in leaps and bounds.
