Fall Flowers of Japan is on view at the Garden through October 30. And while the show in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is beautiful and serene, it’s not the only showcase of the Japanese gardening arts on the grounds. At Shop in the Garden you can marvel at six utterly beautiful bonsai masterpieces on loan from Shanti Bithi Nursery. And while these trees are best seen in person, we thought we would take the time to showcase them for those who cannot make it to the Bronx this fall!
