Kokedama Masterclass

A relaxing and mindful kokedama making workshop where guests make their own Japanese Hanging Garden.

Guests create their very own kokedama – tropical plants wrapped up in a ball of soil and moss.

The Japanese word kokedama literally means “moss ball”. This ancient Japanese art from is still popular in Japanese gardens today, as well as being the newest botanical craze to sweep the planet! Planted arrangements are growing in popularity, replacing cut flower arrangements as an eco-friendlier way of decorating our homes with nature!

Hosted by our expert, guests will be given a demonstration on traditional planting and wrapping techniques and how to mix “poor man’s bonsai” soil! Guests then get their hands dirty mixing their soil, applying their moss and wrapping their plants.

Kokedama can either be displayed on an ornamental plate or strung up for added kokedama drama! We’ll teach guests how to make a macrame string cradle to hang their kokedama in.

Not only do kokedama look stunning but they are also wonderfully low maintenance. We’ll give advice on how to care for them so that even the self-confessed plant killers can get theirs to thrive!

At the end of the kokedama making workshop, guests will take home their unique plant arrangement to bring a bit of nature indoors.
