About Us

"Slip Potting" is a method by which one drops a root-bound bonsai tree into a larger container. The tree doesn't know it's been repotted and grows, undisturbed, without the need for a recovery period. Slip Pot Bonsai Workshops is a fully mobile workshop program focusing primarily on easing people into the wonderful world of Japanese and Chinese horticulture techniques using conifers and subtropicals to create bonsai trees in a way that makes the art approachable for everyone.

All of our instructors practice bonsai. If you want to lead a workshop, you have to be a bonsai enthusiast. Anyone instructing you at one of our workshops has experience keeping the particular plant you are working with alive.

We do a lot of workshops with a lot of plants and pots. We buy wholesale and in large quantities and pass the savings along to you.  When you come to a Slip Pot Bonsai workshop you can be sure that you get a quality bonsai experience for a price comparable to you buying all of the supplies yourself online...your instruction is FREE!

When you go to other workshops, the finished product looks the same from person to person, and project to project...three plants in a container, over and over again. When you come to a Slip Pot workshop everyone leaves with a unique, personalized project. You choose what your project looks like and no two look the same!
