Hi, I’m Thomas Shoji. You can just call me Tom. I find peace in small things: tiny leaves, gentle pruning, and the slow work of shaping a living tree.
I started growing bonsai over 20 years ago. Back then I knew very little. I had one small tree, a pair of scissors, and a lot of patience. Bonsai has taught me more than any book. It taught me to slow down, to breathe, and to listen — not just to the trees, but to myself. You can learn from what took me twenty years to find out.
Tom keeps rare trees that are over 80 years old. He has won awards at bonsai shows around the world. He wants to help you enjoy bonsai too, no matter your level.
Join Tom for a hands-on class, online or in person. You’ll build real skills in a friendly space, at any level.
