Thanh Tam Bonsai school is a special and unique combination of a Bonsai nursery, a horticulture training center, and a Bonsai tools shop. It is run by Mr. Thanh Tam and Mrs. Honey, a couple who have a great passion in this wonderful art of Bonsai.
The school was founded in 1998, and we have been proud to declare ourselves as one of the first official educational organizations in Vietnam providing Bonsai training programs. Certificates granted by the Labor Department will be awarded for students upon to their successful completion of courses at our Bonsai school.
With ventilated and well-facilitated classrooms, nice lounge space and wonderful Bonsai nursery, our students will enjoy a beautiful and comfortable learning environment.

We have also organized other horticulture courses including growing and taking care of orchid/ apricot/ flowers/ home organic vegetable, landscape design, gardening, creating Penjing, etc.
Since the establishment, the school has trained over 20.000 students that cover a wide range, young and old, Vietnamese and Foreigners (English assistance is available). The school provides a full range of courses for all levels of Bonsai enthusiasts, from beginner to highly experienced. Since 1998, there have been more than 60 training courses and graduations.
Our Bonsai school is an excellent place to learn more about Bonsai and to share with others the joys and experiences which come with the practice of this ancient and exciting art form.
The school is founded on the belief that the health of our Bonsai is always the number one priority. Our goal is to give students a foundation for understanding, growing, training and maintaining Bonsai trees.
Our program focuses on intensive Bonsai study and practice. All facets of Bonsai horticulture and artistic creation are explored.
