Bonsai is extremely popular in Latin American countries, particularly in Puerto Rico, the country which will be the host of the 2009 world Bonsai Convention. In addition to the usual courses at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, the Puerto Rican groups have endeavored to teach the techniques of the art to the disabled.
The popularity of the art is also evident in Mexico, where groups sponsor exhibits, demonstrations, and regular classes to discuss design, pruning, types of plants, containers, and other topics of interest to the bonsai community.
Italy
The art is alive and well in Italy, as evidenced by the annual Crespi Cup of Milan. Among the prizes awarded at the Crespi cup are: best tree judged by naturalness and artistic quality; best coniferous tree; best deciduous tree; best shohin; best suiseki, and best pots.
Be sure to include a bonsai stop on your next international vacation.
