Fight the winter blues, bring your tools and join us for our 4th annual winter bonsai workshop. We have chosen several large old junipers (Juniper Procumbens-nana) that have been pruned back over the years that will make perfect specimens for the bonsai hobbyist. With well defined trunk lines, these trees will test participants’ ability in executing the best course of action in tree design. Certainly help is never far away if you need it. Plan on a fun day of pruning, cutting, creating jins and sharis, wiring, and potting. A contest for best tree will be held at end of program for best tree and a prize awarded.
