The Art of Kokedama
The Art of Kokedama
Kokedama, often referred to as the "Japanese moss ball," is a traditional gardening art form that originated in Japan. This technique involves carefully wrapping a plant’s root system in a ball of soil and covering it with moss, creating a beautiful and organic display that can be placed on a decorative surface or suspended. Kokedama encourages a deeper appreciation of nature while offering a creative, relaxing, and hands-on experience suitable for all skill levels. Adult participants may attend individually or as a parent-child pair working together to make one kokedama.
Materials Included:
The workshop fee covers all necessary supplies for each participant, including the plant, soil, moss, and either decorative twine or flexible wire.
