For our overseas friends, Lowe's is a home improvement store, much like the
ubiquitous Home Depot. Their Web site has a whole page devoted to bonsai.
Actually, it's not bad.

interesting but I have seen too many bonsai in both stores that has glued
down stones
or is kept on racks in plastic containers for weeks at a time....about the
only benefit
is that our society gets lots of questions when they die...bad news is that
many people
get turned off by trying bonsai from these sources
IF they actually believed what they put on line perhaps they would stop
selling bonsai
designed to fail. Right now stores here ( zone 4) are selling outdoor
bonsai...with the glued
stone layer of course!

I guarantee you that the people who designed the Web page are not the same
people who put the mallsai in the stores. They probably never even met each
other. And the managers at Headquarters know nothing about either of them. Read
