Highly Recommended
I highly recommend a Bonsai and Brews afternoon. Mason gives lots of practical tips about how to care for your new bonsai at home even if you have the simplest equipment and minimal gardening skills.

Description
2 Hour Bonsai Workshop - Goons Brewing, Berkeley Vale.
Bonsai and Brews is a fun, easygoing workshop to share with friends or family, where you leave with a great story (and your own bonsai tree).
This beginner-friendly 2 hour workshop gets you hands-on from the start. Bonsai expert Mason guides you through potting, shaping, and wiring a bonsai, drawing on 30 years of experience and plenty of humour to keep things relaxed.
No experience needed, if you can hold a pair of scissors, you’ll be just fine.
Grab your drink of choice, settle in, and enjoy two hours of practical learning. You’ll head home with your own bonsai, how to care for it, and the confidence to keep it growing long after the event.
You’ll go home with:
A bonsai tree you choose yourself
A ceramic bonsai pot
Two hours of hands-on bonsai learning and wisdom
Ongoing support through the nursery and online resources
We’ll provide everything you need to work with:
A drink on us!

FAQs
- Can two people share one tree/ticket?
No. Our events are ticketed per person, not per tree, so everyone attending must have a ticket. This is because space is limited to 30 and we need to be able to sell tickets for every seat we have available. Thank you for understanding.
- How do I attend this event?
Goons Brewing is located at Unit 5/14 Bon-Mace Close, Berkeley Vale NSW 2261 on the Central Coast. Set within a local industrial and commercial pocket, parking and transport details for visiting the taproom include:
Parking
On-site & Street Parking: Being situated in a small industrial close (Bon-Mace Close), there is general on-site and curbside street parking available directly outside and near the unit.
Accessibility: The venue features a wheelchair-accessible parking lot and entrance options.
Peak Times: Parking spaces can fill up faster during weekend event peaks (such as Sunday afternoons or when live music and food trucks are on-site).
Transportation

Cycling: Local patrons frequently ride bicycles, utilizing nearby regional paths such as the waterfront bike path coming from The Entrance.
