About Us

Making it easy to learn the art of bonsai

Meet Tim.

He’s obsessed with tiny trees.

In 2021 Tim started teaching pop-up beginner bonsai workshops at local breweries in New England

In the years since Bonsai Bar has expanded into a nationwide movement that has taught over 100K people how to create and care for bonsai, in person at workshops and at home with Bonsai Bar DIY kits.

Tim's personal mission is to make bonsai fun and accessible to everyone and take over the world with tiny trees!
