Group Classes
Our Defining Concepts courses are designed for those who seek in-depth, species-specific knowledge to expand and advance their bonsai skills. These courses combine a classroom-style study of horticulture and design, with the reinforcement of hands-on application. Group classes are kept very small, you receive individualized training and feedback so you can advance your skillset immensely in a short period of time.
