Bonsai for Beginners – NEW DATE @ Bonsai Gardens Lake Merritt
Mar 12 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Rescheduled Event!

This is a special-for-ABG introductory class on the facets of Bonsai – the art of growing trees in pots. It includes a brief history, the horticulture and the artistry of bonsai. The class will be led by Tom Colby, one of the East Bay Bonsai Society’s best instructors. Colby is a long-time member and artist. Participants may bring a tree for the instructor to review and, given time, he will lead a tour through a bonsai garden.

Tickets for this event are $5, (proceeds will be shared with the Society).

Register here.

Class participants are encouraged to bring questions as this always makes for a fun and rewarding experience.

We have space for a maximum of 25 participants (adults only). We know that interest will be high for this event so we will have a waiting list. If you register and are unable to attend, please cancel at least 3 days in advance so that we can offer your space to someone else.

The event is at an Oakland location, and carpooling is encouraged. Location directions will be sent to registrants. The classroom is under a roof but is open to the air. Parking is plentiful, for a $5/car parking fee.

A bathroom is available onsite.
