Japanese Maple Workshop with Lou Carreiro (Sunday, March 03, 2024)

This is a great & unique opportunity that does not come along very often. The Clump Style Japanese Maple Bonsai Workshop is a hands-on event where participants learn how to create and maintain a clump style bonsai. The workshop is led by an experienced bonsai artist and is designed for beginners or intermediate-level bonsai enthusiasts.
 
During the workshop, participants will learn the basics of bonsai care and styling, including pruning, wiring, and shaping techniques. They will also learn how to select and pot the right soil mix for their bonsai. The focus will be on creating a clump-style bonsai, which involves planting several small trees together in a single container to create the appearance of a small grove or forest. For this workshop, the maples have NOT been "clumped" together. 
 
By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own clump-style Japanese maple bonsai to take home and continue to care for.
 
The Clump Style Japanese Maple Bonsai Workshop is a fun and educational experience for anyone interested in bonsai and Japanese maples. It provides an opportunity to learn from an experienced instructor and create a unique and beautiful bonsai that can be enjoyed for years to come.

The class will work on cutting back some of the trunks to make smaller and create some size variation. Wiring of the trunks will also be performed to help spread the trunks out to create some organization. 
 
** This is an all-inclusive workshop with the trees, supplies and tools provided.

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.

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.
