Learning Strategy

Giovanni (SF) has been active in bonsai for only 3yrs. He studies under both Adam Toth and Steve Iwaki.

  • Steve holds a monthly workshop (~4 students) for 3hrs @ $60/ session. Able to work on one tree. San Mateo.

  • Adam holds a monthly workshop (~8 students) for 8 hrs @ $110/ session. Able to work a few trees. San Bruno. May have a lesson.

Check out FB Bonsai Auction. Giovanni will buy old, neglected bonsai and style them and resell them for much more. Bay Area prices are low due to high supply and many older trees. He works on them in the workshops and the profit exceeds the cost. Some auction buyers pay for shipping.
