The procedure of the Master Class
There are several reasons why someone might want to attend an on-site bonsai master class. One of the main reasons is that a classroom-based master class can provide a more comprehensive and detailed education on this subject, as it is an advanced course that offers more depth and focus on the key aspects of bonsai cultivation and care. Additionally, a face-to-face master class also provides the opportunity to interact directly with an expert instructor and ask questions in real-time.
The Schedule of the Master Class
Participants from the USA, Croatia, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic are expected.
Attendees can directly observe Jennifer Price from Chicago, the Bonsai Princess of America, and others at work. You can also make direct eye contact with Walter Pall.
The garden is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, showcasing over 400 trees, artistically crafted pots, and much more. Admission is free.
