The pots may be shallow, but bonsai is a deep art form. With origins in Chinese pending, bonsai has developed in Japan for a thousand years. Past-president of the Pittsburgh Bonsai Society Daniel Yomp will give attendees the history, species and design principles of bonsai, followed by a demonstration with a shrub.

Daniel spent three years working and studying at a bonsai nursery in Osaka, Japan and currently teaches at Phipps Conservatory. Register at www.japansocietypa.org/events
