January 18 Boozy Bonsai Workshop at PlantHouse Sold Out, Canceled

PlantHouse's one-hour "Boozy Bonsai Workshop," scheduled for Sunday, January 18, 2026, 1:30pm–2:30pm EST in the Virginia Beach area, was listed as sold out and noted as canceled on the event page. The listing described a hands-on, plant-and-sip session where participants would plant their own bonsai with guidance from PlantHouse staff, learn planting, soil, and rock techniques, and receive care tips to help the tree thrive.

The original listing presented ticket options for an individual planting or a shared project and promised all materials included for the session, along with a special one-day retail discount for attendees. The event's social format and included materials made it a popular pick for people keen to combine casual socializing with bonsai basics. That popularity appears reflected by the sold-out status on the event page, but the page also shows the session as canceled, creating immediate uncertainty for those who signed up.

For anyone who registered, practical next steps are to contact PlantHouse directly to confirm the cancellation, request a refund if payment was processed, and ask whether the workshop will be rescheduled. Keep evidence of purchase handy, including confirmation emails or ticket receipts, and check the event page and PlantHouse social channels for updates. If you were planning to take advantage of the one-day retail discount, verify whether organizers will honor that offer for a rescheduled date or for in-store purchases related to the canceled event.

The cancellation has a ripple effect through the local bonsai community. Newcomers expecting an introductory, hands-on experience lost an accessible entry point to basic techniques such as soil selection and rock placement, while local makers and PlantHouse staff missed a chance to showcase products and expertise. Community organizers and small-class hosts relying on predictable attendance and clear communication will want to note the disruption and consider contingency plans for future workshops.

PlantHouse's page framed the workshop as both instructional and social, an easy way to learn basics while enjoying a plant-and-sip atmosphere. That format has become a common way for bonsai beginners to get practical experience without the pressure of a formal class. Watch PlantHouse communications for any announcement about refunds or new dates, and consider joining local bonsai meetups or forums in the meantime to keep practicing potting, wiring basics, and aftercare tips until the next hands-on opportunity appears.
