Chadwick Arboretum — Intro to Indoor Bonsai Workshop

What it is

Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens’ Intro to Indoor Bonsai Workshop is a schedule-first, ticketed education event at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The official Chadwick event page prints the date, time, fee (including fees), venue street address, and Fall Foliage Festival context, with registration linked from the arboretum page. The session is described as a chill, educational chance to learn bonsai using beginner-friendly indoor/tropical and mini/mame-suitable species (succulent bonsai examples appear in event imagery), including pot choice at the event. This listing is Learning. It is not a retail nursery shop and not a membership bonsai club (contact credit on the page names In Vivo Bonsai as the workshop contact; the class is published by Chadwick).

Who it’s for

Columbus-area adults and beginners who want a dated, fee-printed arboretum workshop during Fall Foliage Festival programming before committing to a longer club series. Chadwick members can inquire for an additional 15% discount code. People who only want to walk the gardens should use Plan Your Visit separately from this class registration.

Why it’s listed

This is a first-party public-arboretum class page. It prints a dated 2026 session, an all-in fee, a street venue, and member-discount language. It is curriculum and schedule first, not a shop blur. (Smith-Gilbert / City of Kennesaw still returned bot-check 202 on this fetch path; Cincinnati club beginner workshop pages returned 401; Nature’s Way classes-info still carried stale “2021 CLASSES” branding despite some dated 2026 event URLs. Chadwick’s Oct 25 page was the cleanest first-party English fee/date Learning pick away from Tue Toronto and Mon Fort Pierce.)

Notes

• Category is Learning. This is a first-party public-arboretum workshop with a printed date, all-in fee, and venue. It is not a nursery and not a club, and it is distinct from Lowcountry Bonsai (Nurseries) and Ann Arbor Bonsai Society (Clubs).
• The Oct 25, 2026 2:00–4:00 p.m. session at $69.08 (includes all fees), the 15% member discount note, and the 2201 Fred Taylor Dr venue come from official Chadwick pages checked on 2026-09-30 and may change. Page cost line uses the spelling “inlcudes”; fee figure is as printed.

FAQ

Q: What does the Chadwick indoor bonsai workshop cost, and when is it?
A: The event page (checked 2026-09-30) lists Sunday, October 25, 2026, 2:00–4:00 p.m., at $69.08 (includes all fees). Chadwick members can inquire for an additional 15% discount code. Confirm seats on the event URL above.

Q: Where is it held?
A: Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center, 2201 Fred Taylor Dr, Columbus, OH 43210, as part of Fall Foliage Festival programming on the OSU/Chadwick campus.

Q: Is this a nursery or a club?
A: Neither, for Bonsai Plaza category purposes. Chadwick publishes a schedule-first workshop page with a fee and venue, so the card is Learning. Tree retail with shop prices belongs under Nurseries (e.g. Lowcountry Bonsai), and member-run club meeting schedules belong under Clubs (e.g. Ann Arbor Bonsai Society). A workshop contact credit to a local nursery does not move this arboretum class into Nurseries or Clubs.
