Make a Tiny Tree and a Big Memory at Bonsai Bar inside Great Heights Brewing.

Hands-on Bonsai for Beginners
Workshops are aimed at newcomers: over the course of the evening you pot, prune, and design a tiny tree under guided instruction—by the end you walk away with your own bonsai and the know-how to keep it alive.
A Brewery Backdrop
The event takes place at Great Heights Brewing Company, a local craft brewery that provides a relaxed social atmosphere for the workshop alongside hand-crafted beers brewed on site.
Tools, a Pot, and Ongoing Support
Tickets include a tree and ceramic bonsai pot to keep, two hours of instruction, and ongoing support through Bonsai Bar’s Tree-iage program; basic tools and soil-collecting bins are available to borrow during the session.
