THE VENUE

A workshop inside a historic taproom

The event takes place at FIVE RIGHTS Brewing Company, located in the historic Carr’s Hardware Building in Marysville — a family-friendly, award-winning brewery and taproom that pairs craft beer with community events.

THE WORKSHOP

Hands-on beginner bonsai instruction

Beginner workshops walk you through selecting a tree, a ceramic pot, and the basics of potting, pruning and styling so you leave with your own tiny bonsai and two hours of instruction plus ongoing Tree-iage support.

THE LOGISTICS

Ticketing, age policy and what’s included

Space is limited and tickets are sold per person; attendees keep the tree and pot, receive two hours of instruction and access to borrowed tools and soil bins. Venues are family-friendly and generally welcome under-21 guests under parental supervision.
