About the event
Workshop Focus
At this time of year in Colorado, the focus is primarily on refining tropicals, pines, junipers, deciduous trees, and elongating species. Note that any design work will likely be planned but not executed given the time of year, and trees worked on may require increased winter protection. Plan to bring your own tree and supplies (tools, wire, etc).
