Event Description:Each ticket is designed for one guest and includes their own bonsai tree, tools, and workspace for a fully hands-on experience.Level 1: Foundations
Join us for a hands-on bonsai workshop at Props Craft Brewery in Fort Walton Beach, where creativity, calm, and community come together in a relaxed setting. Craft your own bonsai tree in a peaceful, welcoming environment and enjoy a creative, calming experience.
In this immersive two-hour workshop, you’ll learn the art and philosophy behind bonsai—potting, pruning, shaping, and wiring—guided step-by-step by seasoned instructor John Hunter. No experience needed. Just show up ready to slow down, get your hands dirty (gloves are provided if you’d rather not), and enjoy the shared experience of creating something beautiful alongside others.
Each guest leaves with their own bonsai tree, styled by hand during the workshop, along with everything needed to care for it long after the experience ends. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, filled with conversation, smiles, and laughter—making it just as much about community and connection as it is about the art itself. Guests often leave feeling calmer, more connected, and genuinely proud of what they’ve created. It’s a refreshing alternative to the usual night out—creative, grounding, and surprisingly fun.
Workshops welcome both first-time guests and returning bonsai enthusiasts, making it perfect for solo guests, a unique date idea, team building, birthdays, and special celebrations.
Your ticket includes:
- One pre-pruned bonsai tree
- A premium Japanese ceramic bonsai pot
- Full use of professional bonsai tools
- Two hours of hands-on, guided instruction
- A curated take-home care kit (tote bag, spray bottle, mini shears, fertilizer, fertilizer basket, Zen Den sticker, and detailed aftercare instructions)
About the Ligustrum
The Ligustrum bonsai, often called a Privet, is one of the toughest and fastest-growing bonsai trees you can own, making it perfect for beginners. It responds incredibly well to pruning, quickly produces new growth, and rewards regular care by developing dense branching and the appearance of an old tree in miniature.
Come for the bonsai. Stay for the zen. Leave with a living work of art.Seating is intentionally limited to preserve a relaxed, hands-on experience. Workshops frequently sell out, so we recommend reserving your spot early on zendenbonsai.com.
