Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
My wife has a green thumb, but we don’t have the space in Hong Kong to really grow a garden. I was thinking that for her birthday I would like to give her a bonsai as a surprise. Where can I purchase one of these mini beauties from?

The things we give up for living in a city like Hong Kong! First our flats are a fraction of the size, our sofa becomes a two-seater, we trade in our car for the MTR and now we even have to give up our hobbies. It’s very thoughtful of you downsizing your partner’s hobby from a large yard bursting with blooms, to a little bonsai—but I guess we gotta do what we gotta do right? Try Kwan Kwan Garden (204 Prince Edward Rd. West, Mong Kok, 2393-4123) for a selection of fresh and artificial bonsai plants. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, there are many other florists and gardening shops along that road.
