The Living Art of Bonsai: Basics & Live Demonstration

Hosted by the Bonsai Society of San Antonio

Experience the beauty and tradition of bonsai up close! During this live demonstration, you’ll learn how bonsai trees are cultivated, trained, and shaped into living works of art. Our instructor will cover the fundamentals of pruning, wiring, styling, proper tools, everyday care, and long-term maintenance—all while transforming a plant before your eyes.

Whether you’re completely new to bonsai or hoping to expand your skills, you’ll leave with practical tips and a better understanding of how to start and care for a bonsai of your own.

As an exciting finale, the bonsai created during the demonstration will be raffled off to one lucky attendee! Bandera Rd Location
