Beginners bonsai class Milan - October 2026

The Bonsai University also offers short courses, lasting 9 hours, for a first approach to the art of bonsai. The programme covers the basic techniques of the art of bonsai, such as pruning, wrapping, transplanting and shaping, as well as plant physiology and phytopathology. The techniques are applied during the course under the teacher's supervision on plants supplied directly by the school, which will remain the property of the student.

The specific working tools are provided by the student, who, should he or she not have them, can request them from the University and benefit from a special 10% discount.
