This was a great class! I had been looking forward to learning more about bonsai and how to start off and I was surprised at how much I learned and enjoyed my time. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun outing!

We had a great time trimming and repotting our Bonsai’s! The Thunderstruck crew were so helpful and knowledgeable and made it a really fun afternoon. Definitely would do this again.❤️❤️

Knowing nothing about growing Bonsai trees, we eagerly took Larry's class and in 2 hours or less came away with all we need to make a go of it. Larry was instructive, knowledgeable and patient with our group who demonstrated no skills in this new living hobby. There's much more to learn if we want to expand beyond one growing Jade plant, but I'm looking forward to more of Larry's good talents.

Man, those guys gave an incredibly well laid out, informative and hands on presentation presentation covering Bonsai. All of their folks were knowledgeable and knew how to interact with folks who didn't really have a clue... If you are considering dabbling in bonsai plant, I highly recommend one of their courses...

What a great Birthday gift by my wife! She registered us last weekend with Thunderstruck Bonsai’s ,“Bonsai and Brews Event” for my Birthday, and we had a phenomenal time. Owner and Operators, Larry and Justine made the session of learning different aspects of bonsai creations so much fun. Both Larry and Justine are very approachable, friendly and a wealth of information. We got to pick our own tree, and pot to work on, while all the tools and materials were provided and ready when we got there. There was a short and extremely informative basic bonsai class with Larry and Justine (he was the artist, sort-of, lol), before working on our bonsai. Although given creative freedom, they both were great at getting around to everyone, coaching your pruning and designs, potting and wiring, if needed. When it’s all done… you have learned some of the basics, have a gentle grasp of bonsai designs, and best of all… you take your bonsai home! Loved this event, and we highly recommend this for any occasion! Great event, great guys and loads of fun… yes, the drinks were really good! A+

My husband, and I decided to sign up and see what's this is all about. Thinking it's a quick here do this and move on. It was so much more and so fun. We got instructions on the different shapes and the different types of care to preform (with a follow up email with added reminders for care and upkeep). We got to pick from a variety of pots and were shown how to start and how to cut the plants! I will say I loved this and it was worth every penny.

We attended a group class and had a great time! They went over history of the bonsai and different types of trees. We trimmed our own trees (with help when needed) and had a wonderful night. It was nice to go home with our own tree.

The 2 hour Bonsai seminar with Bonsai, potting material, and a real ceramic pot all included at Beerbusters was fun! The teachers/owners were knowledgeable and helpful. I found a tree and pot I loved and which spoke to me. I can't wait to do more with my little tree. They even found me a few clippings to start some more trees on my own. They followed up with care instructions. I've yet to read the instructions but I hope they will remind of about how to clip, water, and feed them. I only wish it was a bit longer so I could learn about connect with my table mates!

My husband Lenny & I immensely enjoyed your recent session of Bonsai & Brews at 3 Daughters Brewpub at Clearwater Beach Thanks so much for doing these programs! What a great idea & a great way to spread your love of this living & creative art to others! And, I expect I may have now begun a new hobby! We had such fun learning something new! I also appreciated the follow-up care guide you sent afterwards so our new bonsai trees will get off to a great start. Hope you keep these going & go to more places too! --Linda & Lenny (NYS & Sandkey)

Larry is amazing. I bought my first tree from him at a festival and just this past weekend I brought it back to him for confirmation that I’m not killing my plant, along with another bonsai I bought, that I am CERTAIN I was killing. He took the time to teach me how to prune my Jade and confirmed with me that my other plant isn’t dying. I was so impressed with his insights I ended up buying a second tree. This guy really knows what he is doing and I’m 100% looking forward to buying more trees from him in the future.

We went to the Bonsai and Brews at 3 Daughters last night and it was awesome! Larry is not only knowledgeable, he is kind. He had 2 assistants with him (Justin and I think his name was Kai?) who were also knowledgeable and kind. There was no concern about doing it "wrong", they gave support and gentle guidance and encouraged us to be creative and tell a story with our bonsai styles. Larry's passion for bonsai is contagious and he's got a real skill for showing the beauty of the art. 10/10

What an incredibly beautiful display of bonsai. He was extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his craft! We bought 4 bonsai from him and wanted to replant them in the proper season. He was kind enough to make sure we had all the proper equipment and walk us through each step. I would highly recommend this business for any and all bonsai needs. HE ALSO DOES WORKSHOPS!!! How cool!!!!

The guy really takes care of these trees, i bought a few bonsai trees for a gift for my mother's bday, a couple Barbados cherry bonsai trees and the one you seen in karate kid. She loved them, now she has some new additions to her garden. Stop by and take a look for yourself, you wont be disappointed. Drew

Thunderstruck Bonsai is one of the best bonsai places we've ever visited. We were very impressed with the quality and variety of the trees, and how they are so well cared for. That's not always the case at the nurseries by us but it's obvious Larry knows what he's doing and is passionate about it. He is a wealth of knowledge and patiently answered all our questions. We went with the intention of just looking around (we live in IL and are here on vacation) and left with 2 beautiful trees that were very reasonably priced and my son is crazy about. Thank you, Thunderstruck Bonsai! Fantastic place.
