Queens’ Bonsai Workshop Trims in Flushing

Flushing pruned last night with Queens’ Bonsai Workshop, shaping NYC’s spring at a Main Street hall. Grower Tariq Evans snipped twigs as 50 shaped, a $15 class for tiny trees. It’s borough roots—pure Queens vibe, pots hot. A kid bent a branch; a pro wired a pine. ‘Queens grows—this is it,’ Evans says, clipping tips. The room turned grove.

The shop’s fresh—March 20’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing tables by 5 p.m. Evans, a Corona trimmer; last night’s crowd hit max—scissors snipped. A latecomer nabbed a pot; soil dusted—NYC grit glowed. Trees hit 20—zen ruled. #QueensBonsai trended; Brooklyn wants a sprig.

Some griped—’Too slow,’ sniped a newbie, dodging patience. Space pinched—latecomers stood; calm held. A rival’s pitching a LIC trim, splitting shears. Still, 60 stayed—twigs reigned. Flushing’s never shaped so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a show if spring bites. ‘NYC’s peace—this plants it,’ he says, packing tools. The shop’s a Queens win—grit meets green. It’s a bonsai rush; join the next. Bring a clip—buds call.
