Everything about bonsai

Here we are

Bonsai Kreativ was founded after the death of Karl Thier in 2017 by Josef Rauscher, Josef Burschl and Ilona Ilyés with the aim of continuing the work of Karl Thier, i.e. to promote the art of bonsai in Austria and to give bonsai enthusiasts the opportunity to learn from professional bonsai artists.

In 2020, Josef Burschl and Ilona Ilyés retired from Bonsai Kreativ and other bonsai artists such as Nick Rozman and Yannick Kiggen took over their position.
