In this course, you will learn all aspects of the art of bonsai, with hands on experience starting with choosing a plant and pot, planting and pruning it into the unique shape of bonsai, as well as all aspects of maintenance and pest control. You will be given assignments at the end of each hands-on lecture to ensure you have a firm grasp of the techniques and concepts that are taught throughout the course.

A table and optionally a riser are recommended for convenience. All necessary tools and supplies are listed in downloadable PDF files that can be found under Resources for each of the corresponding lectures.
