Jaime Whitton is a bonsai artist focused on native conifers, expressive design, and strong horticultural foundations. They began working in bonsai in 2023, providing in-home maintenance services, and in 2024 began teaching beginner classes in private and group settings, grounding their instruction in sound horticultural practice and the natural growth habits of each tree.
