Bonsai Basics Workshop (Sunday, June 27, 2021)
This hands-on workshop is the best class for a beginner. Come with your enthusiasm and open mind, and leave with a beautiful Bonsai and the confidence and knowledge to keep it alive. If you have been wanting to learn about Bonsai but are uncertain how to go about it- this class is for you.
Participants will learn the basics of Bonsai care and the instructor will guide you through the pruning, trimming and transplanting of your own Bonsai.
Attendee Cost: $35 per student
Duration: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Please arrive a few minutes early.
Included with Workshop:
- Experienced instructor(s)

What’s NOT included:
- Bonsai Tree: Participants have preferences (small tree, large tree, indoor, low light, etc). Allowing participants to select their own tree works best. We have hundreds of Pre-Bonsai

Learning Resources and Bonsai Tree Care Guides:
Bonsai trees are not all the same - and neither is their care. Read our specific care sheets for individual bonsai species. Read the Bonsai Care Guides
Shipping Bonsai Trees:
Bonsai trees are generally shipped on Mondays & Tuesdays to avoid having them stay in the boxes for any extra time over the weekends.
Shipping Non-Tree Items
All non-bonsai items such as bonsai pots and bonsai supplies are shipped within 48 hours of receiving payment. Most orders are shipped either the same day or the next day, depending on the time of day the order is received.
Important Guidelines:
** We cannot ship to a FPO, APO, P.O. Box or to locations in Alaska, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii or anywhere internationally.
** All Bonsai are shipped direct from the nursery and may ship separately from other items purchased via the Bonsai Outlet.
** If extreme weather is expected, we may delay shipping your Bonsai tree to guarantee a healthy arrival; in such a case we will contact you. We are shipping living trees and must be conscious of the temperature conditions to the delivery address, as well as, while in transit. That said, we reserve the right to hold the tree(s) to guarantee a healthy delivery. We will Hold Your Tree Until It is Safe to Ship.
