- 5/5 from Anne Stewart, attended Jun 2021: Excellent workshop - came away with two kokedamas - the time flew by but never felt rushed. The Plant whisperer - our terrific instructor - kept instructions very clear and simple - stepped through each process and demonstrated well. Never felt left behind and she came around and checked in with everyone very regularly making sure we felt comfortable with what we were doing. She gave terrific and positive feedback at all stages.

An excellent way to spend a few hours and have some very tangible evidence of what we achieved.
