There are so many wonderful places to visit this summer in the Metro area. The National Arboretum Bonsai Collection needs to be on your list of destinations. Some of these trees are over 390 years old. Their uniqueness is extraordinary. The collection is vast, and you can see it for free, with ample parking. Maybe it will inspire you to learn this technique. When you visit, don’t forget to ask which tree is over 390 years old and survived the atomic bomb.
