Bonsai Communities -Effective Smalls get Big -
As I introduced bonsai schools and magazines in Italy, people in this country are really keen to improve their bonsai skills or to deepen their knowledge of bonsai. Then, such people have got action.
There are more than 200 bonsai clubs where people get together and teach each other about bonsai, organizing a community. Although they are highly concentrated in Northern Italy, recently Central and Southern areas have grown the number.
The avarage number of member in each is community is about 20-30. Members get together two or three times in a month, bringing and showing their own bonsai in order to exchange opinions and information they have and instructors give advice. They organize an exhibition by themselves and award an most excellent bonsai. Also, in each region, clubs get together and hold a bonsai festival and competition, inviting not only Italian professionals but also Japanese professional from Japan.
The followings are representative of bonsai clubs in Italy.
