About BONSAI JOURNEY

“The only voice that matters is the voice that guides you in your journey.”

 Elle Nieto-Brodnick discovered her passion for bonsai appreciation and cultivation during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, while actively working in the healthcare field.


Her journey began by immersing herself in online videos and attending lectures, which gradually led to hands-on workshops and classes with renowned bonsai professionals such as Andy Smith, Owen Reich, Will Baddeley, Julian Tsai, and David Cutchin.


Over the past five years, Elle has continued to refine her craft under the guidance and mentorship of respected artists including Bjorn Bjorholm, Mauro Stemberger, and Todd Schlafer. Her commitment to learning, combined with intensive practice, reflects her deep dedication to bonsai as both an art form and a discipline. She consistently strives to improve her technical skills while embodying the patience, focus, and humility essential to the practice.


Currently, Elle shares her knowledge by teaching beginner to intermediate students at The Hidden Gardens Bonsai, where she works alongside fellow practitioners. Her involvement in the bonsai community continues to grow as she develops her voice and presence as an emerging bonsai artist.


Elle has been invited to present workshops and demonstrations for several respected organizations, including the Springfield Bonsai Society, Ann Arbor Bonsai Society, Green Witch Gardens, Midwest Bonsai Society, Dai Ichi Bonsai, Kofu Kai, California Bonsai Society, Baikoen Bonsai Club, Eastern Leaf Nursery, Kimura Garden Bonsai Kashi No Ki-En, Prairie State Bonsai Society, Quad City Bonsai, and Wisco Bonsai.

Hey there, bonsai enthusiasts! Welcome to our site, where we celebrate the beauty and serenity of nature. Today, we're embarking on a Bonsai Journey, exploring the art of cultivating these miniature trees. Bonsai, derived from the Japanese words "bon" meaning tray and "sai" meaning planting, is a centuries-old tradition that dates back to the 7th century. It's a form of living art that requires patience, skill, and a deep appreciation for nature. Bonsai trees are not only visually stunning, but they also have a calming effect on the mind. Caring for these miniature trees can be a therapeutic experience, helping us connect with nature and find peace in our daily lives. So, let's dive into this Bonsai Journey together! We'll cover everything from selecting the right tree, potting, pruning, and caring for your Bonsai. Stay tuned for our upcoming videos, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more green goodness. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we hope you'll find joy in cultivating your own Bonsai. Until next time, keep growing and stay green!
