Description

Bonsai is an art form that takes place over a long period of time. This workshop will deal with establishing a plant and plan for shaping them over a 4–6-month period. This session will be the Portulacaria Afra. This is an evergreen succulent from South Africa. These abundant plants make up a large portion of local fauna's diet such as elephants and rhinos. It is edible, with the new leaves being the most flavorful. This is a great air filtration plant as well. The best part is that it is an easy care plant, requiring more light than water. A great beginner friendly plant to start a bonsai collection. The second portion of our workshop offered is for anyone who has a bonsai they would like to bring in. A ficus, schefflera, or mystery plant you've been thinking could use some sprucing up. We will advise the best care and styling in a group setting so everyone can learn. We will clip grown foliage and readjust wire at this time. This part of the event starts at 6:30 but all are welcome to sit in at 5:30pm. You can also send update pictures or questions to instructor’s email [email protected] at any time. Included in the session is 1 6” bonsai pot of preferred style and color, 1 bonsai plant, wire materials, and bonsai soil.
