About our Bonsai Workshops
A calm, practical introduction to the art of bonsai taught with care, patience, and respect for tradition.
Our lessons are for anyone who is sincere and curious. If you are wondering whether bonsai is right for you, this is a very good place to begin. You do not need experience, special tools, or confidence. Only interest and an open mind.
A Gentle Way to Learn
We teach bonsai as it is practiced in Japan, slowly, thoughtfully, and with close attention to the tree. Our training is professional and grounded in authentic Japanese methods, but our approach is welcoming and down to earth.
These lessons are not about perfection. They are about understanding, learning how to care for a living tree, and enjoying the process as it grows over time.

What You Will Learn

- Care for and nurture a bonsai tree over time
- Water, position, and maintain your tree correctly

Our aim is not just to show you what to do, but to help you understand why. You can then continue caring for your bonsai with confidence.
