All-inclusive Bonsai Basics Juniper Karate Kid Workshop (Sunday July 28, 2024)

Step into the world of bonsai with our Karate Kid Juniper Bonsai Workshop! This iconic miniature tree, known for its graceful twists and turns, will be your companion as you embark on a journey of creativity and patience. Learn the art of shaping and caring for your own Karate Kid Juniper under the guidance of experienced instructors. Discover the secrets of bonsai cultivation, from pruning to wiring, and watch your tree thrive under your nurturing touch. Join us for an unforgettable experience where you'll cultivate not just a bonsai, but a deeper connection to nature and the ancient art of bonsai cultivation.

Bonsai Basics is an All-Inclusive introductory, hands-on workshop, designed for people who are new to the art of bonsai. The 2 ½ Hour workshop covers the basics of bonsai, including:

1. Brief history and origins of bonsai.
2. Understanding the types of trees suitable for bonsai.
3. The principles of bonsai design and styling.
4. Basic techniques for planting, pruning, wiring, and repotting bonsai trees.
5. Care and maintenance of bonsai trees, including watering, fertilizing, and pest control.

The hands-on workshop is the perfect place for beginners to demystify the art of Bonsai! Upon completing the workshop, you'll walk away with an awesome bonsai tree, but more importantly, you’ll have the confidence to care for it.

The instructor will help you select a “pre-bonsai” (a trained plant in a nursery pot), transplant, trim, prune and transform your tree. After a couple of hours, you’ll go home with an awesome Bonsai tree and a full understanding of maintenance.

All workshops are led by one of our Bonsai experts. We provide some of the happiest and healthiest Bonsai trees, and we love to share our knowledge!
