Create a Bonsai Workshop

This month, we are offering a bonsai workshop hosted by the BC Bonsai Society on site 10-1pm, March 2025. They have partnered up with us at Art's Nursery, to host a beginner workshop, where participants will be mentored to select an appropriate plant, purchased seperately, and be guided through the steps to transform it into a bonsai.  The workshop will cover plant selection, design, branch pruning and wiring at a beginner level.  Each step in the process will be instructed and demonstrated, then participants will do the work on their own selected tree.  The cost to participate is $10, price of the plant and accessories are additional. *Please note that soil included is for a #2 pot size, additional soil can be purchased day of. *
