PF Bonsai School

Progetto Futuro

European Bonsai School

Progetto Futuro European Bonsai School, located in Monteveglio (BO) Italy, was born in 2002 by Enrico Savini. Within short time, the school received the recognition of UBI (Unione Bonsaisti Italiani) and in 2006 conquered the title of “School of the Year” for the quality of teaching, bringing to a very high level many, famous today, students of his.

All of us, students, teachers, as well as other artists that participate in our programs, shape our minds and grow together in this beautiful, adventurous and demanding art of bonsai.

Bonsai is perhaps the most complicated multi-dimensional art. In our school, we learn how to simplify things and walk up the mountain step by step.

The most important things to understand is TIME and TIMING in a world where all things seem to speed up day after day.

We learn how to create a bonsai from zero while understanding that what we do today is for tomorrow.

We learn to use the right techniques to educate our trees and, at the same time, our minds.

We learn to listen to our trees and take proper care of them while strengthening the connection both with the plant kingdom and with the people that surround us.

And above all, we learn to respect nature and her ways, as well as each other.

Join us and live this wonderful experience!
