Chris is a great teacher and made the lesson thoroughly enjoyable. Not only did he guide me make my first Bonsai, I learned how to view trees with new eyes- a skill to enjoy on long walks. He works closely with individuals but includes all students in a shared rewarding experience. What I've thought about for many years, is now a reality.I've a Bonsai to care for and admire.Thanks Chris!.

Chris was welcoming and friendly. He obviously loves sharing his knowledge with others and offered excellent instruction. Venue was well set up and the product of very high quality. The team enjoyed the experience very much.

Today’s class was one on one with Chris. I have to say he is the best teacher so far knowing how to interact with students and encourage them to experiment.

I just loved todays class and many thanks to Chris

Love Leehan • Jan 2025

The class was so much fun and the teacher was very informative, sweet, and helpful. The end result of our bonsai ended up looking really great. I think the class is good value for money because not only do you do the class, but you get a great quality bonsai plant to take back home.

Zoe Ferguson-Kennedy • Jan 2025

Our greenhouse terrarium class was amazing! Chris was knowledgeable and helpful and the class was so relaxing and interesting. We have already booked in for the bonsai for beginners class because of how enjoyable our experience was. Could not recommend highly enough!

Georgina Tucker • Jan 2025

The Bonsai Class for Beginners was fabulous and just what I was looking for. It was hands-on and very practical - we created our own bonsai to take home. Chris also gave me some excellent tips about how I should care for the two bonsais I already have at home. Thank you Chris!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2025

Lovely way to spend a relaxed afternoon and the teacher Chris was wonderful.

Venue and materials great.

Jena Grey • Jan 2025

I cannot recommend this class enough. After years of wanting a Bonsai himself, I purchased 2 tickets to this class as a gift for my partner. Chris our teacher was so wonderful, calm, gentle, knowledgeable and made the entire experience so special. We learnt how to pot, trim and care for our Bonsai, while sipping green tea and encouraging fellow beginner Bonsai-makers. Thank you Chris

Matthew Micallef • Jan 2025

Very fun getting to build your very own Terrarium

Highly recommend!!

Floristry class

This class was an absolute delight! Our instructor was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful afternoon crafting our Christmas wreaths, and the glass of bubbles made it even more fun. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to try their Wildflower class next!

The class was fun and involved largely hands-on activity as we were able to design and create our terrariums however we liked- Chris our instructor was great and very informative, answering all our questions and providing insight into how to care for our new terrarium. I would highly recommend this workshop
