Karikomi & Tamamono “Cloud Pruning”: Sculpting Organic Forms

Join Certified Aesthetic Pruner Steve DaSilva for an immersive workshop on Karikomi and Tamamono, the refined Japanese pruning techniques used to shape shrubs into flowing, organic forms.

Participants will learn the art of cloud pruning, a method that transforms plants into soft, undulating shapes that mimic the harmony of nature. Through hands-on instruction and live demonstrations, Steve will guide attendees in understanding plant selection, pruning tools, and shaping techniques to create sculptural garden forms that enhance any landscape.

Discover how to bring a sense of movement, balance, and artistry to your garden through the centuries-old practice of Karikomi and Tamamono. Space is limited—reserve your spot today!
