Bonsai Basics Workshop at Eva Richmond House
Description
Celebrate the opening of Eva Richmond House with a hands-on bonsai workshop hosted by Botanicah.
Discover the art of bonsai in this beginner-friendly workshop, where you’ll learn traditional techniques to pot, shape and care for your own miniature tree to take home.
Rooted in Japanese tradition, bonsai is the practice of cultivating miniature trees with patience, care and intention. More than simply shaping a plant, bonsai is about creating a living piece of art and taking time to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the process of making something by hand.
This relaxed workshop will guide you through the foundations of bonsai, from selecting and preparing your pot to repotting, pruning, wiring and caring for your tree over time.

• An introduction to the art and history of bonsai
