Join us for Bonsai & Beer, an unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of bonsai while enjoying a drink with friends. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or a complete beginner, this workshop offers the perfect chance to discover the art of bonsai in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Guided by bonsai artist Alex Stanford of Florida Bonsai, you'll learn the essential skills and techniques for styling your very own bonsai tree. No prior experience or tools are required—just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!
We’ll be working with tropical species, which are easy to care for (even if you have a busy schedule). After a brief introduction to the history and fundamentals of bonsai, you'll get hands-on experience potting, pruning, and styling your tree. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own personalized bonsai tree to nurture for years to come!
Beware of similar workshops teaching poor practices. We do not repot Juniper in the summer because it is harmful to the tree and most die soon after. We hate to see beginners disappointed because it ultimately hurts the art of bonsai. If you have been disappointed by another beginner experience please reach out to us for free guidance, encouragement and a discount to get you back on track to enjoying bonsai.
Space is limited, so be sure to secure your tickets early! Tickets cost $80 and are non-refundable reservations. Rescheduling for a workshop on a different day requires a $25 rescheduling fee.
Tickets Include:
- A pre-bonsai tropical species tree
- Ceramic glazed bonsai pot
- Step-by-step potting and styling guidance
- Bonsai wire, soil, and drainage mesh
- Use of all necessary tools
- Aftercare advice and ongoing support
