Workshops with: david benavente

In our school, we have a simple goal: to help you understand your trees. You will learn how to grow them, how to shape them, and how to find their best potential. Most importantly, you will enjoy every step of the process.

Our workshops are very practical. In fact, about 80% of the time is dedicated to working directly on the trees.

All materials are included in the price, except for the tree and its pot. You can bring your own or buy them in our garden.

What do the workshops with David consist of?

Each workshop is led by David Benavente, with only four people per session. This means exclusive attention and a fully personalized experience.

That tree you’ve been thinking about for so long — or that yamadori you haven’t dared to work on yet — can find its best form in just one day. David will guide you through every step of its transformation, helping you understand the right care so your tree can reach its full potential.

We offer seasonal and thematic workshops, open to any species and any level. Because the groups are small, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced — David will explain everything you need to know at your own pace.

DESIGN WORKSHOPS WITH DAVID BENAVENTE

Sometimes, you’ll discover simple tricks that no one has told you before, such as how to wire correctly. Other times, you’ll learn advanced techniques, like tree surgery, that will take your skills to the next level. And between one step and the next, you’ll keep learning methods that help you grow and improve.

These workshops are truly tailor-made. The small format, with only four students, allows for more interaction, focus, and relaxation. As a result, you’ll learn faster, enjoy more, and get the most out of your bonsai experience.
