  Ally asked:
  
  
  I want to buy either a bonsai tree or the seeds for them and grow it myself, does anyone know a store in calgary that sells the seeds and all the supplies for it?

   You can bonsai almost anything if you start it from seed, just make sure it’s a “woody” plant (vs. herbaceous – like a shrub vs. a flower). Try googling for a good online resource and read up on the care of bonsais, as well as caring for houseplants in your neck of the woods (don’t know where you live).

   Keep in mind, all bonsai want to grow into trees or their natural size. Only the pot is holding them back.

   Most on line dealers have a good offering, but you MUST let them know where you live. What does great here in Texas would die in your cold temperature.

   Forget the seeds unless you are ready to wait 30 to 40 years.

   Find a local club and get after it.

   Check out your local library for native plants in your area.

   By the way, we might get frost tonight in Dallas. I just brought in all my tropical bonsai today.

   Now go drink a beer and relax
