Bonsai Classes
If you’re interested in learning about how to grow a bonsai tree you should consider attending bonsai classes.
These are an excellent way to get a good grounding in bonsai so that you can grow and style your bonsai tree.
There are bonsai enthusiasts in most continents and they meet in bonsai clubs and societies. They will often organise demonstrations and classes where you can get hands on experience of caring for bonsai trees.
These can be invaluable in learning the skills and techniques of bonsai. Many people who are new to bonsai often feel overwhelmed not only by the challenge of looking after their bonsai tree but also by the unfamiliar ‘bonsai vocabulary’.
So finding bonsai classes where you can meet with more experienced bonsai growers can be a great help.
In these classes you can learn about the types of trees that are suitable for bonsai, the different styles of bonsai, whether you can grow them indoors or outdoors, the tools that you will need, how to water and feed them, how you choose a bonsai pot, how you prune and wire the tree, how you acquire a bonsai tree and what trees are suitable for beginners.
This long list (not complete!) can appear daunting, but with the right help and advice you can soon learn the basics and get going on your bonsai journey.
So how do you find bonsai classes? First of all make enquiries in your local area. Do you know someone who grows bonsai trees? If you do then ask them about local societies and clubs.
If not, go on the internet and search for bonsai and your locality. Most clubs have a website these days.
If you can’t find any classes in your area don’t let that put you off. The internet is a vast resource of bonsai information and you can find many helpful sites and videos that you can watch. The important thing is to do something that will help you to grow your own bonsai tree.
