2 Hour Bonsai Workshop - The Artisan Farmer, Nabiac

Bonsai and Brews is a fun, easygoing workshop to share with friends or family, where you leave with a great story (and your own bonsai tree - valued at $120).

This beginner-friendly 2 hour workshop gets you hands-on from the start. All the way from Jervis Bay on the South Coast, bonsai master Mason guides you through potting, shaping and wiring a bonsai, drawing on 30 years of experience and plenty of humour to keep things relaxed.

No experience needed. If you can hold a pair of scissors, you'll be just fine.

This is as much a community catch-up as it is a workshop, so come early or stay on afterwards and indulge in lunch and treats from the menu. You’ll head home with your own bonsai, a clear understanding of how to care for it, and the confidence to keep it growing long after the event.

You’ll go home with:

A bonsai tree you choose yourself

A ceramic bonsai pot

Two hours of hands-on bonsai learning and wisdom

Ongoing support through the nursery and online resources

We’ll provide everything you need to work with:

A cuppa on us!

Bonsai soil and materials

Shears for trimming

Bamboo for digging

Wiring and shaping tools

A few things to know:

Limited spots available (30 people)

Held over two hours at the The Artisan Farmer, Nabiac

Come early or stay after for lunch, the cafe's open til 2.30pm

If you’ve ever wanted to learn bonsai basics, not formal, just good teaching in a great setting with your own plant to take home, this workshop is for you.
