    On today's episode of The Main Course, Katy Keiffer holds down the fort alone as she explores the intertwined worlds of bonsai masters and Japanese cuisine. Join in and she has a very inspiring conversation with bonsai master Julian Velasco, who shares his knowledge on bonsai techniques, history and how the small trees can teach us more about life and ourselves. The conversation then shifts to Japanese cuisine and sake, as Phillip Gilmore of Momo Sushi Shack shares the inspiration behind his Bushwick restaurant and talks about his experience working alongside Juilan for the upcoming Graceful Perseverance exhibition at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The kickoff event is Feburary 11th - learn more at www.bbg.org. This episode was sponsored by S Wallace Edwards & Sons. For more information visit www.surryfarms.com
