Bonsai Workshops

Discover the wonderful world of Bonsai by joining our programme of informative Bonsai Workshops. Our courses are suitable for both expert and novice students.

Expert tuition is given by Bryan Albright. He is one of the UK's leading bonsai potters and studies the art of bonsai with a Japanese master. Bryan will guide you through all aspects of Bonsai care and styling.

The meetings are held on one Saturday in the month from 10.30am till 4.00pm, and the fee is £25.00 for the day. To award your loyalty to our workshops, we are pleased to be able to offer you the 5th workshop at half-price if you book four in advance. Teas and coffees are supplied.

Spaces in our workshops are limited to ensure that you receive the personal attention that you need. Please contact us to reserve your place.

Our nursery specialises in growing Bonsai raw material, and includes Larch, Beech, Acers, Oak, among others.
