Join us for a very special workshop with the one and only Desi Lee - a topiary design expert - as we go over the basics of shaping & caring
During the class, you'll:
- Choose your own small rosemary or myrtle plant, pot it up into a beautiful terracotta pot, and follow along to begin the training process during the class in order to leave with your own, personalized beginning topiary & go home with a pre-trained 4.5" myrtle ball topiary which you will learn how to trim and maintain shape on throughout the course.
- Go home with the knowledge & confidence to shape the plant over time with the new skills you've acquired
- Discover what the best topiary plants for beginners are and why
- Learn the core principles that work for ALL tabletop topiaries: pruning techniques, shaping secrets (balls, cones, spirals & more), wiring if needed, ongoing maintenance, & why terms like "ramification" are important to understand
