The art of Bonsai has a long and rich history in Japan and other Eastern Asian countries – one that can translate easily to our region using native trees and proper techniques. Join members of the Pennsylvania Bonsai Association to explore the history and fundamental elements and styles of this ancient art. Students will learn how to choose, plant, train, and provide long-term care to a young specimen tree. Go home with a new Bonsai tree of your own. Please bring sharp pruners/scissors, gardening gloves, and a flat box to transport your tree home.

This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday, April 13, 2024.

There will be a selection of additional trees available for purchase. This includes a flat of ficus trees , which will be $40 each and $50 for a spruce. This is a great deal compared to many of the other gardens centers and nurseries that sell quality bonsai.
