Just in time for Father’s Day, Exotic Plants – Sacramento’s go-to source for houseplants – will host a special “Swig & Dig” workshop, teaching the gardening art of bonsai. While putting together their “little trees in pots,” attendees will also enjoy some local craft beer and tasty snacks.

Set for 5:30 p.m. Friday, June 18, this in-person workshop will be taught by Exotic Plants founder Kifumi Keppler, who has decades of bonsai experience. She studied the art of bonsai in her native Japan and learned how to cultivate these special plants from her family. Keppler has taught bonsai at her Sacramento store since 1972.

Tickets are $100 per person and include: a Bonsai tree; a planter; decorative elements and planting material; and one beer (per adult attendee). Participants will take home their new bonsai.
