Our Defining Concepts courses are designed for those who seek in-depth, species-specific knowledge to expand and advance their bonsai skills. These courses combine a classroom-style study of horticulture and design, with the reinforcement of hands-on application. Group classes are kept very small, you receive individualized training and feedback so you can advance your skillset immensely in a short period of time.
Ranging from private, personalized instruction, to online consultation, one-on-one interactions with Ryan Neil serve to accomodate your various needs, motivations, and price ranges. One-on-one interactions are geared towards workshopping trees, troubleshooting problems, or fine-tuning a specific skillset. Whether in-person or online, this service is tailored to help you expand your knowledge and application of bonsai.
