Custom Bonsai Creation - Boxwood
January 4, 2026
In this workshop we provide all the materials. The trees we are offering are 10-15 years old and are currently growing in nursery containers. We have been working on them in order to give our clients the opportunity to acquire advanced materials at a reasonable price. We will move them from the nursery cans and place them into ceramic pots. During this process, you will learn about the care and culture of each individual tree and the design/artistic benefits of each individual species.
When you attend this workshop, you will receive the following: ceramic pot, soil, wire as needed, guidance through the initial styling process, and the tree. It is our goal to provide a "hands on" learning experience at a price that puts it within the reach of all.
