He said Bonsai art was a creative and aesthetically vibrating passion that provided immense delight and recreation to people.

He commended the efforts being made by the Pakistan Bonsai Society for promoting the fantastic Japanese art. He said the Bonsai Centre, established at the Zamzama Park, had emerged as nucleus for disseminating the information on Bonsai in the country.—PPI
