SUMMARY:Annual Liverpool Bonsai Show
DESCRIPTION:Bonsai is a Japanese art form that involves growing and training miniature trees in containers\, mimicking the shape and scale of full-sized trees in nature. The goal of Bonsai stewardship is not to create a genetically small tree but to maintain a normal tree species in miniature form through pruning and training. Bonsai also emphasizes natural beauty\, asymmetry\, and harmony between the tree and its pot. \nBonsai Club of Central New York will have their amazing plants on display and answer your questions.

Beginner workshops are perfect for you to learn everything you need to know to walk away with your very own tiny tree. So grab a friend\, your beverage of choice\, and get ready for a great 2 hours of everything bonsai. \nAbout the Venue \nWe are an Upstate NY craft ciderworks\, operated by siblings Elise and Eric Smith. Our name pays homage to our father and his late uncle. Back in the day they hid their homemade hard cider from Aunt Bobby\, in stumps. The phrase “let’s go blow up some stumps” became code for backyard swilling because the cider was so strong it could blow up stumps. We make a variation of this cider in-house and think fond thoughts of Uncle Charlie every time we talk about it. We utilize NY apples\, as well as other local ingredients to ferment tasty libations for locals and cider enthusiasts alike. In our gift shop you will find goods that are printed by local companies and art made by talented people from the surrounding areas. \nYou get to keep: \n\nA tree you pick\nA ceramic bonsai pot for your tree\n2-hours of bonsai wisdom\nOngoing support for your tree through our Tree-iage program\n\nWe have for you to borrow: \n\nA bin to collect soil\nShears to trim\nChop stick for digging
