Big Stone Gap, VA. In observance of Earth Day the Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park will host a “Beginner Bonsai Workshop” on Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m.-Noon in the Victorian Parlor of the museum.

Join local horticulturist Lee Cobb for a highly requested beginner’s bonsai workshop! Participants will pot a 4” plant and will be given basic care techniques on how to care for the plant. The workshop includes all supplies and Bonsai education material. Bonsai trees are known as a more delicate than average indoor plant, but they can still make a great option to add to your plant collection. This workshop is for adults only.

The fee for the workshop is $15 per person; all supplies and materials are included. Participants must register by 4 p.m. on Friday, April 14.

For more information about the Bonsai workshop, or to register, please call the park at 276-523-1322.
