SUMMARY:2025 The Art of Bonsai - May-Thursday
DESCRIPTION:MAY AND SEPTEMBER PROJECTS: AIR LAYERING AND GROUND LAYERING FOR BONSAI\n🌱 Air Layering & Ground Layering Bonsai Workshop\nLocation: Gresham Japanese Garden – Kyoudou CenterMaterials Provided | Bring Your Bonsai Tools\nOverview\nLooking for an affordable and effective way to create your own bonsai tree? Join us for this hands-on workshop where you’ll learn air layering—a technique that allows you to grow a new tree by separating a branch from an existing one. \nWe’ll cover several approaches to air layering\, discuss which tree species respond best\, and walk through how to plan your bonsai before separation. \nWe’ll also explore ground layering\, a related technique used to correct aesthetic issues on trees already in containers. Both methods will be demonstrated on real trees in our greenhouse\, and students will get to perform their own air layer. \n\n🌿 Note: Once you learn air layering\, you may start scouting branches all over the neighborhood! (Please get permission before layering someone else’s tree.) \n\nWhat’s Included\n\n✅ Expert instruction\n✅ Greenhouse demonstration\n✅ One-on-one guidance during hands-on practice\n✅ Follow-up class in September for separation and potting\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Part 2: Follow-Up Class – September\nIn September\, we’ll host a second class to check on your air layers and (if successful) guide you through the separation and potting process. To ensure everyone can participate—even if their first attempt doesn’t take—we’ll have extra air layers available. \nLimited spots available. Secure yours today! \n			\n				September Thursday's Class

SUMMARY:Introduction to Ikebana - May
DESCRIPTION:What to Expect in the Workshop\nIn this workshop\, instructor Nana Bellerud covers the basic concept\, techniques\, tools and equipment\, and plant care for ikebana. Participants will practice a basic style arrangement within the rules of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects\, instructor Nana Bellerud will show you how ikebana explores artistic concepts such as balance\, contrast\, and negative space. \nSupplies and tools are onsite to borrow for the workshop. After you’ve worked on your arrangement\, you are encouraged to take a photo and then you will dismantle your work. The plant material is yours to take. If you wish to take your creation home in one piece\, or are interested in practicing ikebana further\, please consider purchasing a kensan and container at the workshop. See below. \nClass will be held in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center\, 219A S. Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. The building is located at the south end of Main City Park in Gresham\, OR. It is the last building closest to the Springwater Trail.

SUMMARY:2025 The Art of Bonsai-June-Thurs
DESCRIPTION:Managing Pines for Bonsai\nPines are one of the most iconic and traditional species used in Japanese bonsai. Known for their strength\, structure\, and symbolism\, pines also teach us the importance of managing a tree’s energy. With proper handling—especially in spring—they are a joy to work with. But without guidance\, they can leave even seasoned caretakers scratching their heads. \nThis introductory workshop provides a hands-on overview of pine bonsai care\, with a focus on spring maintenance. Participants will choose a pine for their take home project from a variety of pines from our collection. You will leave with not only a pine to care for\, but a confident\, informed care of this unique species. \n🌿 Workshop Details\n\nDate: Thursday June 19\, 2025\nTime: 6pm – 8pm\nLocation: Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center\nClass Size: Limited to 16 participants\nCost: $45 – All materials provided. Please bring bonsai tools like snippers\, wire cutters\, gloves.\n\n📘 What You’ll Learn\n\nPrinciples of energy management in pine bonsai\nOverview of PNW-friendly pine species\nSpring care techniques and seasonal expectations\nHands-on experience with greenhouse specimens\n\nThis session offers broad exposure to core pine bonsai concepts but does not go in-depth on individual techniques such as decandling. \nComing soon: A dedicated class on Decandling for Double-Flush Pines (like Japanese Black Pine) will be offered as a complement to this workshop. \n📝 Register Now\nSpots are limited – early registration is encouraged.
