This winter, teach your children about bonsai! We have two exciting children's workshops coming up in January and February at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum: Will It Be a Bonsai or a Big Tree? Every tree seedling has its fate, and in this workshop, you can learn how that fate is determined. One adult and one child will have a special day together as they work as lab partners, using their “scientist eyes” to observe details and make comparisons. We’ll learn about plant physiology, ecosystems and bonsai history, too. At the close of class, each research team will receive a seedling whose fate they will decide. Will your tree go through the rigorous training to become a bonsai or will you plant it outdoors in spring to grow up wild, big and free? Click below for more information and to register:
