Tien Reflects on 25 Years of Bonsai — Lessons, Growth & Wisdom

It’s time to meet the man behind the nursery. In this episode, Tien shares his journey through 25 years of bonsai — from starting out as a curious enthusiast to running a commercial nursery that cares for over 30,000 bonsai trees. He reflects on the differences between hobby and professional bonsai, why he’s chosen to do things differently than some experts, and the lessons he's learned along the way. You’ll also get a glimpse into his philosophy, the volunteer program he created, and how bonsai has shaped more than just trees — it’s shaped a life.
