Weyerhaeuser, one of the largest lumber producers, maintains a garden of tiny trees. Their Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection of 60 bonsai trees has been open to the public for 20 years. But to cut costs, the company is closing down public access to the collection, saving them a full-time and a part-time position. The bonsai curator will remain to take care of the trees and there is hope the garden can open again when the economy turns around. Weyerhaeuser’s business has dropped dramatically with the reduced demand for building materials. They’ve been closing down plants and distribution centers around the country to reel in costs. Here are photos of their bonsai from the Puget Sound Bonsai Association.
