SUMMARY:Structural Pruning Pines
DESCRIPTION:Watch instructor\, Laura Dufala unlock the hidden character of pine trees through structural pine pruning. She’s captivating to watch her approach to cloud pruning\, and through her artistic eyes make decisions regarding which branches to keep and which ones to remove. She has a tendency to turn the class into a hands-on practicum\, so bring gloves and sanitized pruners. \nThe class will take place at the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Tsuru Island. Licensed landscapers will earn 3 CEU credits.

SUMMARY:2026 The Art of Bonsai: Nov-Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Aluminum Wiring Techniques with Pacific Willow\nLearn one of the most essential skills in bonsai—wiring. This hands-on workshop focuses on shaping and styling bonsai using aluminum wire on a deciduous tree\, an indispensable tool for bonsai artists. Participants will work with a Pacific Willow (Salix lasiandra)\, a Pacific Northwest favorite with graceful\, flexible branches and long\, glossy leaves offers a soft\, flowing appearance that is well suited to informal upright\, slanting\, clump\, and windswept bonsai styles. \nYou’ll learn how to apply wire correctly\, bend branches safely\, and create movement and structure that will guide your tree’s future development. Proper wiring techniques\, timing\, and aftercare will all be covered\, giving you the confidence to continue shaping your bonsai at home. \nThis workshop is a compliment to October’s workshop where wiring with aluminum was taught on an evergreen\, and serves as the foundation for our December Copper Wiring Workshop. We’ll discuss the differences between aluminum and copper wire\, when each should be used\, and why experienced bonsai artists often choose copper for refined conifer styling. If you’re interested in advancing your skills\, this workshop is the perfect preparation for taking the next step in December. \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nHow to wire a bonsai using aluminum wire\nProper branch positioning and shaping techniques\nWhen and how to remove wire safely\nThe differences between aluminum and copper wire\nHow wiring influences long-term bonsai development\n\nWho Should Attend\nIdeal for beginners and intermediate bonsai enthusiasts who want to build a strong foundation in wiring techniques and prepare for more advanced styling with copper wire in our December workshop. \nLeave with a beautifully wired Western Hemlock\, practical wiring skills\, and a deeper understanding of how thoughtful styling transforms a tree into a bonsai. \nClass will take place in the greenhouse.
