I, one of those who's affected, returned ornamental art (6)
I believe the answer is:
bonsai
'art' is the definition.
(I know that bonsai is a art)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bonsai that I've seen before include "Japanese plant or tree grown in miniature form" , "Japanese art of growing dwarf trees" , "Tree dwarfing art" , "Little plants" , "Dwarf tree found in Bosnia" .)
