Kokedama

About

During this workshop you will learn how to create your own unique hanging (or standing!) plant display using a traditional Japanese technique known as Kokedama.

Kokedama, a Japanese term that translates as "ball of moss", are plants which grow in a moss-covered ball and often sit on a decorative tray or plate on a table or shelf etc, they also look amazing hanging!

You will be guided through the steps of creating your own Kokedama, from preparing the plant, soil and moss through to forming the soil ball, wrapping the plant in moss and then tying it all together. You'll also learn how to care for and keep your Kokedama thriving.

This is a fun and creative workshop that allows you to connect with nature and make something beautiful to take home."
