Private Group Teaching

Listed below are the topics offered by Tree-Haven,
Warren Hill’s school of Bonsai. These classes are conducted
by Warren for individuals and /or groups at the Tree-Haven school
location in eastern Tennessee. The same topics are offered to individuals
and study groups in the field if desired.
Each study group has a unique set of participants that usually have
much in common in terms of interests, backgrounds and personalities.
These commonalties of course allow the members to speak and choose
more easily as a single voice. It also allows the instructor to
focus much more in detail on the specific items of interest within
the subject matter.
The curriculum decided upon can be one or more of the listed topics,
or a new subject more in tune with the wants and needs of the particular
group.
