About the event
Bonsai workshops are always a little different from one another depending on the tree species and the time of year. The feature species for this workshop is Shimpaku Juniper (Juniperis chinesis v. shimpaku), a classic outdoor tree for bonsai. We will talk about why Junipers are so popular, how to keep them healthy and the great features the species has for looking like an old and interesting bonsai tree. They respond well to pruning, wiring and bending at this time of year, so that is the work we will focus on. Bring your gloves and everything else is provided!
