Open Workbench for Tropical Trees (Saturday, September 20, 2025)
Welcome to our Bonsai Open Workbench — the perfect opportunity for bonsai enthusiasts who own a Tropical Bonsai tree but feel uncertain about styling or repotting.
If the prospect of tackling these tasks on your own is daunting, fear not! This unique workshop provides a relaxed and supportive environment for you to bring your bonsai and receive hands-on assistance from an expert professional.
Unlike a formal Bonsai Basics workshop, this is an open-format session where you can bring your tree and address specific concerns or tasks with the guidance of a seasoned bonsai professional. It's an informal and collaborative setting, allowing you to work on your bonsai at your own pace while benefiting from personalized advice and expertise.
Whether you're a beginner seeking guidance or an experienced enthusiast looking to refine your skills, the Bonsai Open Workbench is tailored to meet your individual needs.
Join us for an enriching experience that combines the camaraderie of a shared passion for bonsai with the expertise of a skilled professional. Don't miss this chance to elevate your bonsai journey in a supportive and collaborative setting!
