Vic has found one of the least noticed paths to learning bonsai--finding a mentor and then working for them. I have seen a few folks do this at bonsai nurseries.

One worked for free at one bonsai nursery I go to weeding, trimming and doing work that the owners couldn't get to or were avoiding doing. He wound up using his experience there to help him get a docent position at the National Arb's bonsai collection... He now helps trim Goshin occasionally...
