Mike Pistello has been practicing the art of bonsai for seventeen years. Over the years he has studied with local teachers such as Jimmy Inadomi, Dennis Makishima, Johnny Uchida and Boon Manakitivipart. Mike has written articles for Golden Statements and has an article being published in the November/December issue of Bonsai Focus. Mike is a former member of Fuji Bonsai Club and a current member of Yamato Bonsai Kai. Mike specializes in conifers, but is happy to assist you with any bonsai you may have questions or concerns with. Mike is very excited to be teaching the 4th Sunday workshops and looks forward to seeing you there.

  As part of our mission to educate the public about bonsai, we give free bonsai demonstrations and low cost workshops. They are held most months on the fourth Sunday of the month, from 1-3PM.
