With two locations in North Carolina including Statesville just north of Charlotte and a location in Holly Springs south west of Raleigh, we provide the bonsai community with both physical and online access to bonsai supplies and education.
We offer multiple workshops for beginner, intermediate and advanced students of the art of bonsai throughout the year. Each year we introduce new workshops to our intermediate and advanced students allowing them hands on experience with different species, styles and techniques.
