Classes & Workshops

The BonsaiSmiths offer a variety of workshops around the year which are designed to help the beginner and the advanced hobbyist with their technical skills and varietal specific needs. Our most popular class is our set of three Japanese Black Pine workshops in Spring, Summer and Fall which instruct how to develop a highly ramified, healthy, well styled tree the same way professionals do in Japan. We also offer classes on repotting, wiring, juniper, broadleaf evergreen, flowering and fruiting and deciduous trees.
