Nicolas Kissling
Bonsai trimmer
Oron-la-Ville

« Japanese masters like to say that the tree decides and we follow its plan. »

Nicolas Kissling grew up in Oron-la-Ville in a family of gardeners. After working for a few years in advertising, he joined the family business Kissling Fleurs – which he manages today – and specialized in bonsai, an art born in China and developed in Japan for which he is passionate. For more than twenty years, it has hosted the Bonsai club of French-speaking Switzerland in its premises.

« I always say that you have to talk to your bonsai to put yourself in a state of intense observation and see the problems better. »

Bonsai are much more than decorative shrubs. Witnesses of ancestral know-how, they are passed on to following generations by surviving their gardener. Nicolas Kissling is one of them: he prunes, repots, waters, models and cares for these trees according to the rules of this art applicable to all tree species, with a predilection for Japanese maple, pine and juniper.
