  • Introducing Aaron Curtis (Shiro Bonsai Owner & Founder)

    Aaron's bonsai journey started many years ago when he was gifted his first tree. Having travelled to Asia over 20 times, his love for cultural art has always been significant.

    This soon became solely focused on bonsai, learning from overseas professionals & working in the horticultural industry. Aaron currently maintains a sum of bonsai collections in Christchurch as well as regularly pruning niwaki & large landscape trees.
