Make your Own Bonsai Workshop (Monday)
The centuries-old art of bonsai is an exercise in patience, attention, and creativity. We will abbreviate the process by turning a container-grown nursery juniper into a living sculpture over the course of this class, with hands-on work on your very own tree. Bring a shallow 6-10” pot (or we’ll provide a plastic one) to take your tree home in, and gloves if you prefer.
