Bonsai workshops · Manti, Utah
Put the phone down.
Pick up a tree.
Two hours, a little soil under your nails, and a dwarf jade in a handmade pot that goes home with you. No experience needed.
Zion Bonsai
Zion Bonsai cultivates stillness, curiosity, and connection — one tree at a time.
Why Zion?
Our name comes from two places close to our hearts. The first is Zion National Park, where the red rock and quiet canyons showed us what peace feels like. The second is what Zion means: a people of one heart and one mind. That idea is rooted in our faith and shared by many traditions. Through the ancient art of bonsai, we want to help nurture the Zion in all of us, connecting us to nature, to God, and to each other. Ten minutes a day with a tree can settle a busy mind and help us show up a little calmer, a little kinder, and more present for the people around us.

Hands in the dirt, phones nowhere.
Why unplug
Two hours. Hands full of soil.
Central Utah is full of beautiful outdoor recreation, but not many places to unplug, work with your hands and make something living.
So that’s the table we built. Phones away, no pressure to be perfect, just soil, tools, good company and a tree that’s yours to grow. You don’t need a green thumb. You just need to show up.
What to expect
- Phones face-down for two hours.
- No experience needed. Never touched a bonsai? Perfect.
- We bring the trees, the handmade pots, the soil and the tools to use.
- You leave with your own dwarf jade in a handmade pot, plus the care basics.
- Come back in six to nine months and we’ll shape it again.
Next workshop
Saturday, November 7
1pm–3pm · Sweet Roots Farm & Flora, Manti
Who you’ll learn from
An old art, made new at the table.
Bonsai has a thousand years of tradition behind it. We love that, and we skip the gatekeeping.
Landon brings the soil, the roots and the technique. Cass brings a floral designer’s eye and the belief that you don’t force a tree, you listen to where it wants to go.
Trees we’ve shaped
Each one its own.
Pots by Taya’s Clay Creations, thrown by hand for every workshop.
Private & corporate events
Bring your people to the table.
Wellness retreats, team days, school programs, private parties. We bring the trees, the pots and the tools; you bring the people who could use two hours away from their screens.
Plan an event“There was something so grounding about getting my hands in the soil and reconnecting with nature. It truly felt rejuvenating and helped me unplug from everything else.”
Unplug. Create. Grow.
Come grow with us.
