Junipers are one of the most common species used in traditional bonsai. In this April 11 Tower Hill class you’ll learn all of the basic skills needed to grow and maintain a juniper bonsai. We will transform a piece of nursery material into a piece of living art for you to go home with. These plants are cold hardy and will need to be kept in a location that is below 42 degrees and protected from wind during the winter. Proper winter care will be covered in the class as well as repotting, pruning, and design. All material will be provided.

Instructor Joel Mullen is the President of the Kaikou Bonsai Study Group. He has been growing bonsai trees for over 10 years and has trained with artists all over New England. Joel is the Lead Tropical Grower and the Education Coordinator at New England Bonsai Gardens in Bellingham, MA.
