Welcome to Bonsai Boon.

This is the personal website of Boon Manakitivipart, professional bonsai artist. Boon’s passion is bonsai education—both learning and teaching. He had the privilege to train with one of the most famous bonsai masters in Japan. As part of his training, he helped set up and work every major Japanese bonsai show. His goal today is to share his bonsai knowledge and expertise with other bonsai enthusiasts through his teachings.

He sponsors study groups, programs and workshops across America. Personalized workshops and intensive classes are held at his studio in northern California. Boon gets great satisfaction when his students attain success. Several have become regionally and nationally acclaimed bonsai artists and teachers in their own right.

Rather than operate a retail business, Boon prefers to work directly with customers and regular clients to find high-quality bonsai. He also consults on the set up and maintenance of public and private collections.

Boon has won numerous national and international awards for his work on bonsai. He is well known for his innovative techniques, unique bonsai styling and creative teaching methods.
