- Bonsai soil.
You'll pot your very own bonsai during the workshop and take it home to enjoy!
A Note About Shaping: We won't be shaping the bonsai during this class. Every tree has its own unique structure and growth habits, and shaping is best approached thoughtfully rather than rushed. We'll cover the principles and techniques so you can make informed decisions about your tree as it grows.
Whether you're brand-new to bonsai or simply looking to try something new, this workshop is a great way to get your hands in the soil and start creating your own living piece of art.
