Located
in Stamford, Connecticut, Shanti Bithi Nursery is one of the largest
growers and importers of Bonsai in the United States. Since 1978 we
have specialized in Bonsai
and related plants, offering classes and
sponsoring
expert lecturers. Shanti Bithi has an extensive collection of specimen-quality
Bonsai trees, and carries a full line of Bonsai-related items.
Shanti
Bithi Nursery grows specimen-quality cultivars of rare and unusual Japanese
maples. We loan some of these specimens, both Bonsai and full-size trees,
to the New York Botanical Garden for its annual autumn exhibition entitled
“The Japanese Autumn Garden: Momijigari.”
Shanti Bithi is also a landscape design and construction company. For the past 19 years we have designed and built the extraordinary Steinhardt Gardens in Bedford, New York. Our Bonsai specialist, Saeko Oshiro, designs small and intimate Asian-style gardens.
Shanti
Bithi means ‘Path of Peace’ in Bengali. The name was given
to the nursery by Indian meditation teacher Sri Chinmoy.
