In this 3 part course you will learn all about bonsai! In the first session we explore what is unique about bonsai, and several ways to make bonsai. In the second class we will meet your new bonsai friend. We will design and plan the path your bonsai will take for best results, as well as learn several exotic bonsai techniques. In the final class we will implement the design portion of your plan, sending you home with a delightful looking bonsai. Note – the plant does not go home with you until the 3rd class.
