Learn the art of bonsai and bring home a tiny oasis you planted yourself.
During this plant-tastic class, which is perfect for beginners, you will be layering soil, pebbles, and a small bonsai tree. Typically, people assume bonsai art is limited to juniper trees, but it's not! Bonsai is the art of cultivating small, beautifully shaped trees in containers, designed to resemble miniature versions of full-sized trees. Originating from Japan, bonsai emphasizes harmony, balance, and natural beauty. Through careful pruning and shaping, bonsai artists create living sculptures that can be enjoyed for many years. That's why there are multiple species of trees involved in the bonsai process, such as juniper, ficus, jade bonsai, snow bush, creeping juniper, and more.
Guided by a passionate green thumb, you will learn all about plant education, bonsai techniques, and care tips that will help your little leafy friends thrive and look their best for years to come. You'll get everything you need in your bonsai kit, including some fun accessories.
On the hunt for things to do to connect you and your friends? Whether you're planning a birthday party, a team-building event, or just a day of fun, working with plants is a great way to unwind and be social.
By the end of this class, everyone will be ready to take on the new world of plant parenthood and have their own unique bonsai tree to treasure.
Please note

Thank you Casey and the Crafty Kit team!!!
  • 5/5 from Barrie Lynch, attended Dec 2024: Our teacher, Katherine, was remarkable in providing background, helpful hints, fielding many questions, and in managing an inquisitive group of 60 colleagues in the USA and in Ireland! Thank you, Katherine; you and the bonsai activity were a grand slam and we all had a fantastic time!
  • 5/5 from Teressa Peirona, attended Oct 2024: Our team had so much fun learning about bonsai and Casey was both knowledgeable and friendly. It was great to get our hands dirty and play with some dirt while also learning about how to care for our plants.
  • 5/5 from Faith Kustra, attended Sep 2024: This class is great! Casey was an amazing instructor. She was engaging, funny and knowledgeable. My team loved getting the kits in the mail and putting their tree kit together. I would highly recommend this class and in fact I am signing up another one of my teams for the same event.
  • 5/5 from Ali Hall, attended May 2024: Such a great team activity! Creative, no stress, great teacher! Thanks for hosting and teaching us something new. Highly recommend.
  • 3/5 from Julia Mora-Khan, attended May 2023: (Private feedback) - I communicated with Katherine, but Chelsi showed up, which was confusing - Pace was too fast - Not enough prep info given, so folks were not equipped well - One plant was dead on arrival, and it has been a bit of a tug to get it replaced I would like to speak to a ClassBento rep over the phone to explain in more detail. I'm not angry, and don't want a refund, but I had such a great experience with my first ClassBento (wood burning), and such a disappointing experience with bonsai, I was surprised at the inconsistency. If the experiences had been in reverse (bonsai first), I would not have booked ClassBento again for my corporate event.
