This unique workshop is created by a professional arborist, who designs and builds actual zen gardens for clients. Run on a secret rooftop garden popular for its beekeeping, you'll be surrounded by nature as you build a mini Zen Garden to take home.At this 1.5hr session, you'll also cover the theory behind this revered Japanese art, as well as take in a mini meditation session in a quiet garden setting. Enjoy a cup of sake and Sundowner's garden infused water as refreshment.We provide all the materials needed, even including a live mini bonsai that will be the centrepiece of your garden. In the end, you'll get to take home your creation (in a box), and as it is a living garden, tend to it. Raking the sand to make new designs will be the most fun! *As this takes place on a rooftop farm, if it is raining, we will continue and proceed indoors to The Nomad's Tent, an indoor bar space in the same building.*Minimum 4 pax to start a session.

Very fun trip, Clarence is very knowledgeable about bees and nature. Took my wife there for her birthday and she loved it. I just wish there were separate booking categories for adults and children - of course kids should be able to experience this too, but it would make the experience perfect to have separate kids-focused and kids-free groups if booked far enough in advance.
