• 5/5 from Jesus Balcazar, attended Nov 2026: My team had a great time learning about Bonsai and getting to make our own. The instructors were very helpful and gave each person time to ask questions and feel supported. Would recommend to others.
• 5/5 from Daphne Au, attended Oct 2026: What a fun way to end the weekend. Dory and her assistant/partner were personable, approachable, and knowledgeable. Time flew by suprisingly quickly. Loved getting my hands in the soil, having face-to-face time with my husband (without kids or any digital distractions), and discovering sour beers are pretty much a fun version of kombucha! Thank you! *Tip* Get there early so you can get first pick of the tree that's speaking to you. ;)

• 5/5 from James Wang, attended Jul 2026: This a fun class for beginners and the teacher did a very good job to teach us on what and how make a Bonsai from scratch. Easy to learn and easy to do.

• 5/5 from Shane Woodlief, attended Jun 2026: I had a great time, and I learned some new stuff which was really amazing. The instructors were great, very warm and personable.
• 5/5 from Allie F, attended Jun 2026: Dory was great handling our group of 30 people. I talk her through group expectations, reading the room if the group is too chatty and she was so receptive. I really appreciate classes that is willing to meet us where the group is at rather than me having to tell the group to be quiet every 5 minutes. It was hands on without being too deep in the weeds. A lot of fun and people loved their bonsai.
• 5/5 from Jd Farrales, attended May 2026: My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 1-year annivserary, and he is super into bonsai, so I signed us up for this class. It was very well-rounded for me (a beginner). We both had different sized trees with unique root systems, and learned different methods to tie the trees down to the pot. All materials included! The aftercare was also very thorough. Both instructors were kind, welcoming, and we had a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend to any other beginners interested in bonsai.
• 5/5 from Robin Tsuji, attended Apr 2026: I enjoyed the class. The class had lots of information to share, wish we could have spent more time on how to shape your bonsai a little more.
• 5/5 from Nathaniel Carroll-Browne, attended Apr 2026: Teachers were knowledgeable and very helpful. Great explanations, easy to understand, friendly, and patient. Great class for beginners!
• 5/5 from Annie Chen, attended Mar 2026: The Bonsai class was a great class! Dory and Nikki made the class super fun and easy for Bonsai beginners like us! We learned a ton about Bonsai care, and the instructors gave us an amazing level of instruction. In particular, Dory was amazing to work with in scheduling and creating a class for our team. Would easily recommend!
• 5/5 from Kevin Tanaka, attended Mar 2026: This class was really great. Instructors (Dory and Nikki) are both very warm and welcoming, and are clearly very passionate about sharing their knowledge. They had the perfect balance of having everyone work on their own bonsai while keeping track of everyone's progress and offering help and tips throughout the class. They were also very accommodating as we brought our dog with us. Offered to seat us at the end of the table so we could keep our puppy in his stroller next to us. 10/10 recommend this class!!
• 5/5 from Monica D Kirkpatrick, attended Feb 2026: Very pleasant class; wish it came with a beer but you buy your own beer. Nice teachers.
• 5/5 from Steve Bayes, attended Feb 2026: The class was great and we are super happy with our new bonsai plants! Having the workshop at Bare Bottle was also fun and we hung out after class for another beer. Great excuse to get out in the rain and go make something cool.
• 5/5 from Yvette & John Warnock, attended Feb 2026: My husband and I enjoyed our Bonsai and Brews class. There were plenty of plants and containers to choose from. The two instructors were friendly and knowledgeable as they walked us through the steps in creating our bonsai’s, and helped out when we needed it. A fun evening, my bonsai looks great!
• 5/5 from Jane, attended Feb 2026: The two instructors were fabulous. They looked at each and everyone's process and guided us through every step of the repotting. They also were funny so we laughed a lot! Would highly recommend!!!
• 5/5 from Savanna Godfrey, attended Feb 2026: This was a great experience!! The hosts were awesome and it was very easy to follow along in the class! Went home with beautiful bonsai trees.
• 3/5 from Ruby Wong, attended Feb 2026: Dori was fantastic! She gave good instruction one on one. But hard to follow along as venue was loud and too many students. The other instructor did the steps for us when we asked questions, which we didn’t appreciate. Would hsve benefited from slower / louder instruction, or televised on screen
• 5/5 from James Spagnola, attended Jan 2026: Teachers were very informative and helpful.
• 5/5 from Edward Ross, attended Jan 2026: Such a fun time with a lasting memory!
• 4/5 from Gary Paden, attended Jan 2026: Excellent experience. Super fun and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to family and friends.
• 5/5 from Beleny Reese, attended Dec 2025: I thoroughly enjoyed this class! It’s a low-stakes, hands-on experience that has helped make bonsai feel more approachable. The instructors were generous with their knowledge and assistance to all of the participants. The class is very well planned out with enough time for everyone to complete their process and have some additional space to ask questions or receive one-on-one assistance. Hosting at a local brewery is a great touch, and it was nice that we had a secluded space for the group and all the materials. I would absolutely recommend this class for anyone interested in bonsai or just looking for a fun activity to do solo or with a couple friends!
• 5/5 from Jacky Yang, attended Oct 2025: Watching the video first is helpful. The instructions was very consise.
• 4/5 from Bj Soriano, attended Oct 2025: Teacher was great! I might suggest that she use a lapel mic to offer her instruction. It was a strain to hear her at times.
• 5/5 from Ginny Pizzardi, attended Jun 2025: I was pleasantly surprised at how much information our teacher offered us. I left the class excited to do more workshops. I feel this class taught us the basic skills used when working with this art form. Shout out to Mark who helped out in class.
