We are happy to invite you to 5 free meetings, designed to delve deeper into the world of bonsai. The meetings are open to all, and those who participate in the Bonsai Shohin Festival will also be able to learn more about the preparation and display of their bonsai in preparation for the show on March 6-8, 2026. These events are a unique opportunity to learn, connect with other enthusiasts, and receive practical advice directly from Andrea Scarenzi (January 9-16-23-30), a bonsai instructor and multiple first-prize winner at previous editions of the Bonsai Shohin Festival, and Gaetano Settembrini (January 24), a bonsai master.
HOW WILL WORK THE OPEN DAYS?
You can come to our Parabiago shop with your bonsai (maximum 2 per person) without reservation and speak directly with the bonsai instructor who will give you advice on your plants and, if you participate in the Bonsai Shohin Festival, on how to prepare and compose your plants for the Shohin Festival.
