Bonsai 2026: Japanese art on display at Villa Pomini (32nd edition)

Every spring Villa Pomini hosts an exhibition devoted to bonsai—miniature trees that combine horticultural skill and aesthetic design. The 32nd edition welcomes enthusiasts and newcomers to view carefully tended specimens and learn about traditional bonsai techniques.

The show is organized by the Friends of Bonsai Association, established in 1992 to promote knowledge and exchange among bonsai practitioners.
