Discover the art and science of growing bonsai from seed in this hands-on workshop. Led by Ryan Huston of In Vivo Bonsai, who has cultivated generations of Japanese Black Pine from seed, this class offers a rare opportunity to see and work with bonsai trees at multiple stages of development.The workshop begins with a 30-minute introduction to outdoor bonsai care and styling, followed by guided hands-on sessions in wiring techniques, slip potting, and shaping trees. You’ll gain insight into how to accelerate trunk development, choose branch placements, and create expressive movement- all essential to building strong, beautiful bonsai from the ground up. Whether you’re just beginning or ready to level up your skills, students can choose from two participation tiers based on budget and interest. You’ll also leave with a printed growing guide so you can continue your bonsai journey with confidence at home.
