If you like Bonsai, you might be missing out on a whole variety of plants to grow in your collection; Herbal Bonsai and specifically Rosemary and Thyme. Cultivating herbs for their medicinal purposes has been common practice for hundreds of years, but how to apply their qualities for Bonsai is relatively unknown.

You can pick a herbal plant from your garden or buy from a botanical garden or local plant nursery. Especially older herbs, that have partially wooded trunks, will work well to grow into a Bonsai. The benefits off using herbs for Bonsai is obvious; pruning your thyme or rosemary Bonsai will supply your kitchen with a fresh and steady supply of herbs ;-)
