Every tree has a story to tell..
We believe every bonsai carries a story — of patience, care, and artistry. By donating your bonsai to the Display, you allow that story to live on, inspiring new generations of bonsai lovers across Aotearoa
Our Promise..
We understand how deeply personal bonsai can be. That’s why we make a clear commitment to every donor:
Never Sold or Traded – Your bonsai will never be commercialised.
Always Displayed – Your tree will remain within the New Zealand Bonsai Display.
Return Guarantee – If the Display ever closes, relocates, or cannot continue to care for your tree, it will be offered back to you at no cost.
Recognition – Donors may choose to have their name displayed alongside their bonsai, as a way to honour your generosity.
Cared for with passion..
Every bonsai in the Display is maintained by NZ Bonsai Artist Aaron Curtis, whose lifelong passion is the art and future of bonsai in New Zealand.
With years of experience and a deep commitment to bonsai, Aaron ensures each donated tree receives the attention, respect, and care it deserves. Your bonsai will not just survive — it will thrive under expert hands.
