Branch Out with Heathcote’s Bonsai Social!
Looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, meet fellow plant lovers, and try something new? Join Heathcote Botanical Gardens for our next Bonsai Social at Pierced Ciderworks!
Our Bonsai Socials bring the art of bonsai out into the community, pairing hands-on horticultural learning with the welcoming atmosphere of local establishments throughout the Treasure Coast and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re brand-new to bonsai or already love plants, this experience is designed to help you slow down, get creative, and discover the joy of shaping and caring for your very own miniature tree.
Sip. Shape. Socialize.
For this special off-site Bonsai Social, we’re heading to Pierce Cider in Fort Pierce!
Join us for a relaxed, engaging afternoon with Heathcote’s Bonsai Team, including Bonsai Bro Cody, who will guide you through the fundamentals of shaping and caring for a bonsai.
You’ll learn by doing, enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts, and leave with a bonsai of your own to continue nurturing at home.
No previous experience is necessary. All you need is a little curiosity and a willingness to try something new!
