Each session is 2 1/2 hours and costs $30, including the use of tools, soil, wire etc. Students can bring their own tree or purchase one here.
Each student will receive expert instruction on whatever seasonally appropriate techniques each tree requires. Because each student has something different there is always a variety of information being given out.
