What to expect: The area we will be harvesting bonsai material from is a section of private property. The soil is mainly sand/coarse gravel. It is largely populated by Scott’s pine but does include thuja-cedar, spruce, aspen, poplar, maple, birch, and rowan. Participants will be able to collect up to 5 trees as well as sheets of fine moss that grows in the area.
Once registered, participants will receive an email outlining expectations, details of how to dig, recommended tools/equipment for the workshop as well as instruction on aftercare and winter storage of your trees.
Introduction & Orientation begins at 10am
No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. The event will go on 👍
Optional wooden grow boxes: If you wish to plant your tree into a wooden grow box, I will have a bunch of these available in various sizes and depths at the dig location. They'll be $25 each. If interested in multiple wooden boxes, please let me know how many you'd like via email.
