A peaceful grove. <br /> Over the years, I realize I often find myself
liking this bonsai-forest style of bonsai more than the single-tree style.  
I overheard one bonsai trainer say bonsai forests, including this one, are
usually made quickly by buying a bunch of young trees and planting
them--they're not made by buying saplings and then growing them.  Thus,
forests don't take the decades of investment of many single-tree bonsai.  
<br /> The bonsai trainer also explained the importance of the moss to
hold moisture in the soil.
