The Chinese art of dwarfing trees and creating miniature landscapes is called penjing and has been practiced in China for more than 2,000 years. An incredible display of these fascinating mini-landscapes takes place at Lan Su Chinese Garden where visitors can marvel at the complexity of the designs; often featuring ancient tiny trees, gnarled rock and mud men characters. This exhibit, accompanying demonstrations, guided tours and activities takes in Father's Day Weekend. Men, we discovered, appear to be fascinated by extreme pruning!
