What It Is

A living juniper, a pot and the soil to set it in, all waiting on the table when you arrive. Over 90 minutes a host walks your group through freeing the root ball, setting the tree at the right depth and dressing the surface with pebbles — then through the watering and pruning that keeps it alive at home.
