• 5/5 from Fru Petrina, attended Sep 2026: I went to a beginner bonsai class with my daughter on Sunday, and we had such a lovely time! The teacher was patient and explained every step clearly, so we felt comfortable even though it was our first time. It was relaxing, creative and so much fun to do together. We both left with our own little bonsai trees and a beautiful memory. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to try something new!

• 5/5 from Jemma, attended Aug 2026: Enjoyable class! Great for all ages. The instructor Dion was friendly and communicative. A great starting point into the wonderful world of bonsai! I wish the class was a bit longer due to the varying size of the plants that were offered - some needing more time and pruning. Overall a beautiful space to learn in
• 5/5 from Anthony Chan, attended Aug 2026: The class was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot in a very short time. We selected plants, prepared the pot and roots (teasing and trimming), planted and wired the tree to shape it, and then trimmed the branches. The teacher did well to manage a large group of people. I feel motivated and pretty confident to do this on my own. Thank you :)
• 5/5 from Damian Alexander-Kopernick, attended Jul 2026: Dijon is a brilliant instructor, the class was enjoyable and even a black thumb like me was able to walk away with my own well crafted Bonsai.

• 3/5 from Matthew Tims, attended Jun 2026: The class was enjoyable and information, but rather chaotic and a little hard to see. I'd prefer if there were multiple roving instructors and if the lead instructor had a mic.

• 5/5 from Matt Motea, attended Apr 2026: The class was an enjoyable, accessible and hands-on way to learn the basics of bonsai potting and shaping. There's nothing you need to bring and you leave with a new bonsai to care for that you've potted and stabilised yourself. Definitely a fun and creative way to spend a morning!
• 4/5 from Brooklyn Hutton, attended Apr 2026: Teacher Kiara was lovely, patient and explained things well. Very much enjoyed this workshop, however would have loved to learn some different bonsai techniques, tree styles and forms!

• 5/5 from Sarah, attended Feb 2026: It was a great class! The instructors were engaging, knowledgeable and clear and the steps were easy to follow. There were enough helpers roaming around to help you out when needed too. We each left with a cute bonsai and knowledge of how to take care of it. Thanks Botanicah and ClassBento for such a fantastic time!
• 5/5 from Vicki Redwood, attended Feb 2026: It was a wonderful experience and a bit of fun at the same time. Love what I have achieved in such a short time. Off to try another one to use up a beautiful vessel I already have at home.
• 5/5 from Calum Friend, attended Feb 2026: Fantastic time, teachers were awesome, bonsai plants were brought home were really cool. Memorable experience!
• 5/5 from Jenny Flower, attended Jan 2026: I really enjoyed this class. I did it with my daughters (they attended to please me) but both walked out saying they really enjoyed it too. I love my new bonsai.
• 3/5 from Clementine Warren-Smith, attended Jan 2026: Unfortunately very hard to hear and came away with barely any knowledge about how to take care of my bonsai! They had probably 40 people so not a very personal experience. My daughters bought this class for me for Christmas and although the organisers were nice, the class was poorly run.

• 5/5 from Misha Coleman, attended Nov 2025: Fun, easy workshop. Team created a welcoming environment. Patient, warm assistance with questions. And a lovely atmosphere developed with strangers at our table—everyone admiring each others’ plants. I’ve taken many workshops and this is one of my most favourite.
• 5/5 from Damian Wilson, attended Nov 2025: I recently attended a beginner bonsai class with my friend, who’s new to the hobby, and we both had a fun and enjoyable day! The session was well-organised, engaging, and a great balance of learning and hands-on practice. It was also lovely meeting other people who share an interest in bonsai. The facilitators were professional, patient, and very helpful, making the whole experience approachable for beginners. I’d definitely recommend this class to anyone curious about starting their bonsai journey!
• 5/5 from Robyn Connor, attended Oct 2025: I purchased the beginner Bonsai class for my best friends' 50th birthday surprise. We had the best time! The facilities were so clean and beautiful and the teacher gave us a history about Bonsai before we started. The class was a nice size which was great as Kiara, the teacher had plenty of time to answer questions. Kiara's instructions were clear and easy to understand and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
• 5/5 from Kate Dear, attended Oct 2025: Enjoyed the class. The pace was just right and it was lovely having a cute tree to bring home, hopefully to grow and thrive.
• 5/5 from Michelle Desira, attended Oct 2025: What a BRILLIANT class! Thanks so much guys, my husband and I loved all the insights that were shared and the creativity we experienced. We will love and nurture our BONSAI.
• 5/5 from Gavan Byrne, attended Oct 2025: Teachers very informative, nicely paced, good introduction to Bonsai
• 5/5 from Vivek Deepti, attended Oct 2025: My husband and I attended Bonsai Class for Beginners. It was agreat fun. Instructor Kiara was amazing.
• 5/5 from Steph Lai, attended Oct 2025: The instructors were lovely! I loved that they covered the history of bonsai. One recommendation I have is for the instructors to occupy a spot in the middle of the table rather than at one end so it’s easier for everyone to see what they’re demonstrating, though in my class there was another instructors who walked around and was happy to repeat all the instructions so it didn’t affect us too much. I also wish there were more different pots to choose from. But overall it was a great experience! I recommend getting there early so you have first pick of the plants and the colour pot you want!
• 4/5 from Stephen Burke, attended Oct 2025: Good teacher Gave some history of Bonsai And not too technical information
• 5/5 from Rhonda Ebsary, attended Sep 2025: Oh was really great workshop. Very informative, I even learnt new things and I have grown Bonsai for years. Great teachers and they come around to give advice on pruning Nd styling. Recommend this workshop to anyone new to Bonsai or seasoned.
