Discover the art of bonsai and create your own living work of art.
Curious about bonsai but not sure where to begin? In this hands-on beginner workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of bonsai design while transforming a tropical plant into a beautiful miniature tree of your own.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through selecting a design, working with the roots, pruning and shaping your plant, proper planting techniques, and the basics of wiring and training. We’ll also discuss how bonsai continue to develop over time and how to care for your new tree successfully at home.
Tropical plants are a wonderful introduction to bonsai because they can be enjoyed indoors throughout the colder months while giving you plenty of opportunity to continue pruning, shaping, and developing your tree.
Each participant will leave with a finished tropical bonsai, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue caring for and training it for years to come.
