Workshops at Pavement Ends

It's time again to be working on trees and being guardedly optimistic about springtime!

This year has been a difficult winter to deal with, but not because it has been so harsh. No, the ups and downs have been very odd this year. My trees have been cozy in the shop this winter. With a big water barrel and stock tank heater, the temps in the shop have been very moderate, perfect for wintering trees.

It's time to start bringing the trees out to their summer spots, with the caveat that we could still have a long hard freeze any time. So we have to be ready to re-protect them for short times until mid April or so.

With all that in mind, it's time to begin workshops here at Pavement Ends. Click the calendar link to see the proposed bonsai schedule. This year we are going to structure workshops a bit differently.

We will have a short, formal classroom time with solid information shared so you can take notes and keep a book of bonsai techniques.

Following that, we will work on your trees, or if you do not have a tree and wish to work on one of mine, I will try to find a tree for you to work on.

I will provide all the wire for the sessions and drinks (water, pop).

I will ask you to bring a lunch and two or three trees that you would like some help with. If you do not have a tree to work on, we might be able to find you one of mine to work on for the experience.

The fee for the workshop will be $40 all inclusive. I look forward to seeing you all and some new folks this year, and to seeing some of your trees again.
