Sébastien MAIMARAN

Bonsai enthusiast

In 1993, Sébastien Maimaran’s mother gave him a bonsai tree to keep him seated while he studied for his high school diploma… This marked the beginning of a passion that would lead him to join the French Bonsai Federation and become a member of clubs in Bordeaux alongside Laurent Darrieux and Hervé Dora. He also trained under French professionals such as Alexandre Escudero, Jean François Busquet, and Olivier Barreau. A curious enthusiast, he continues to learn while sharing his knowledge and passion.
