Bonsai Class for Beginners

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
17 May 26

Practice mindfulness and connect with nature during this 1½ hour Bonsai Class for Beginners at Botanicah in Melbourne.

Bonsai, the ancient Japanese art form of growing miniature trees in containers, involves stunting a tree’s growth by skillful branch and root pruning.  When you begin to bonsai, you are shaping the idea of a tree, that belongs somewhere in the future. Bonsai are often passed down through generations as heirlooms, leaving a legacy of hope, serenity and grace.

In this class, under expert guidance, you will put together your very own bonsai tree to take home and have the confidence to continue caring for the plant in years to come!
