Children of the corn

Tyler reminds me often that you can’t be a bonsai professional without a support system. The morning after my brother’s Black Hills wedding (congratulations Luke & Valeska!) I spent a week camping in the backcountry of the mountains I spent my summers in. On one of the days, I collected trees in the valley my stepdad has been camping in since 1965. Back to my parent’s Not-so-Little House on the Prairie, with some of my late grandfather’s tools, he and I built the collection boxes for 5 Ponderosa Pine and a Black Hills Spruce. So grateful for my support system 🥰

Stunning trees! Having people supporting you is what it's all about! Similar to supporting newly collected trees, can't develop roots without thoughtful and sturdy support!
