SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5

Introduction to Bonsai Using Native Trees

10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Brian Tuel, Bonsai Artist and Pennsylvania Bonsai Society Member

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 Society to explore the history, 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.

Bring sharp pruners/scissors, gardening gloves, and a flat box to transport your tree home.

Members: $75 | Non-Members: $85
