We conducted a highly productive class last Saturday. Our 6th year student, David Mahrt, was preparing his trees for his upcoming graduation exhibition. The 5th year students received instruction on the finer points of white Pine and single flush trees. The 4th year students focused on Maple development, emphasizing top growth reduction and thinning control.

I had help from our 4th year student Bev as we tackled changing out some trees into new pots. Always fixing and improving roots. A great 4 hour morning of repotting some of my trees.

We worked on a Crimson Queen Maple, a snake bark Maple and 2 Azaleas.

Spoiler Alert: Our Annual spring sale will start April 16 and go until the 18 of April, 2026. We will put more information out later ... Mark your Calenders 🙂

This Valentine’s Day, skip the flowers that fade and give something that grows. At Dirty Locust Garden Center, we’re celebrating love with living gifts — bonsai trees shaped by time, beautiful bonsai pots, handcrafted tools, succulent arrangements, terrariums, moss walls, and living art that continues to change and grow long after the holiday ends. Whether you’re shopping for someone special or treating yourself, these are gifts with roots, meaning, and a story to tell.

Love takes patience, care, and time — just like bonsai. Find something unique this Valentine’s Day and give a gift that lasts longer than roses. From small trees with big character to peaceful living pieces that transform a space, discover something truly alive at our Valentine’s Bonsai Sale. Because the best gifts don’t just say “I love you”… they keep growing.
