So your friend gave you a bonsai tree, and you just don’t know how to care for it!
You may have seen the beautiful display at the Annual Bonsai Show and wanted to understand the mysteries of Bonsai.
Or you always wanted to try growing some and wondered where to start.
Bonsai Winnipeg has been introducing bonsai techniques to novices since 1981, when the club was a small informal group. This handful of people was joined by others and grew to become a club with a formal structure, still led and managed by volunteers.
The Bonsai Society of Winnipeg now offers the Introduction to Growing Bonsai (ITGB) Course each year. Through lectures, videos, and hands-on workshops, Bonsai Winnipeg volunteer teachers cover the basics of creating and caring for Bonsai. A course manual, tools, wire, membership, and pre-bonsai trees are included. Course participants can also harvest additional trees native to Manitoba on guided field trips each spring and fall or purchase them from a local nursery.
This is a wonderful way to learn about the artistic and horticultural aspects of the hobby. It is highly recommended for anyone who wants to grow Bonsai in Manitoba.
We designed a new format to get you up to speed over just two intensive and immersive weekends. This condensed format is excellent for busy people who like to accelerate learning.
Day One: Lectures, Videos, and Demos: 9 AM to 5 PM
Day Two: Workshops: 9 AM to 5 PM
Day Three: Workshops: 9 AM to 5 PM
The pre-bonsai are nursery trees that are ideal specimens to shape as formal, informal, or slanting Bonsai and we can apply all the fundamental guidelines that will result in a good-quality bonsai. These trees will have one or two trunks or more, with strong, tapering trunks and many branches to work with.
Individuals taking the course are encouraged to attend as many club meetings as possible to reinforce what they have learned in the course.
Your own set of Ryuga Ashinaga Shear, Ryuga Concave Cutter are included
