Description
The art of Bonsai has a long and rich history in Japan and other Eastern Asian countries โ 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. Learn how to choose, plant, train, and provide long-term care for a young specimen tree. Go home with a new Bonsai tree of your own. Please bring sharp pruners/scissors and garden gloves.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, March 21, 2026 (Rain Date: Saturday 3/28).
