“Dawn Redwood” at The Morton Arboretum July 16, 2011

It’s the dawning of the age of bonsai! “Dawn Redwood” teaches students how to care for this majestic deciduous conifer. Enjoy the lush, delicate green foliage through the spring and summer and a spectacular burnt-red in the fall. Students will work with a field–grown tree potted in a 3-gallon nursery container as they learn styling, wiring techniques and after care. All levels welcome. Costs $48 plus a $40 materials fee (discounts for Arboretum members). All ages. Research Building.
July 16: 10 a.m. – 1p.m.
