We're excited to announce a very special collaboration between NowHere and Dandy Farmer, one of New York City's most innovative and creative Bonsai Studios.
From Thursday, May 9th – Sunday, May 12th, the Dandy Farmer team will be taking over the gallery space for a fleeting pop-up showcase of some of the studio's most beautiful trees, just in time for Mother's Day. Entry to the pop-up is free and trees will be available for direct sale.
Founded by Matthew Puntigam in 2016, Dandy Farmer believes in the transformative power of personal interaction with nature. Today, they're a store and design studio with a headquarters in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
As part of Dany Farmer’s pop-up the team will also be hosting two weekend workshops, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. In the classes, you’ll learn basic bonsai techniques to start transforming plants into bonsai, including getting familiar with good soil mix, root-pruning, repotting, and choosing the right angles when repotting.
