Bonsai Classes/ Workshops 2025 by Martha Meehan

All classes will be presented by Martha Meehan, co-owner of Meehan’s Miniatures Bonsai. Martha and her husband, Hugh Meehan, have been dedicated to the art of bonsai for decades. Together they first established the nursery in their Wheaton backyard in 1976, and they have nurtured it into the thriving business it is today. In 1979, they purchased the property located in Boonsboro, MD, Meehan’s Miniatures primarily operates as a wholesale grower. Then moved the nursery to its present location in Rohersville, MD!

Hugh and Martha have two sons, Chris and Colin, and enjoy visiting them and extended family-- grandbabies included! Hugh and Martha have employed various individuals over time and thank them endlessly for the commitment to the nursery during their season of employment. It is a labor of love, patience, and tons of learning but there is something to be said about the parallels of bonsai and nourishing a business!

Over the years, Martha and Hugh have built meaningful relationships with plant enthusiasts, collectors, growers, and hobbyists alike. Their passion for bonsai extends beyond cultivation—it’s about sharing the beauty, discipline, and joy of this art form.

After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to once again offer bonsai workshops and connect with the community. We look forward to welcoming you back and continuing to spread the love of bonsai!
