Bonsai Workshop
The Bonsai Club Ticino dates back to 1986, when a small group of bonsai enthusiasts decided to create a dynamic place where it was possible to meet with friends and share a common passion. During the past few years, the Club started to open up to change, innovations and new energy.
Everyone is welcome to join, from the most expert lover to the beginners in this field.
In 2008 the BCT also joined the Piemonte – Lombardia union, while in 2010 it became part of the Swiss Bonsai Club.
