How it works

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

Book or Request your preferred time
We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. This particular craft kit only ships to NSW, VIC, QLD, SA.
Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

What you'll do

Kokedamas are all the rage! So get on board and deck your house out in these delightful creations.

Kokedama translates literally to moss ball in Japanese and these little moss balls are the perfect space savers when you short on surface space but still want to add some greenery to your home.

In this live online class, you'll learn all about soil composition, plant selection, tying techniques and care, so you can keep your little moss ball looking lush and happy for many moons to come.

You will receive all the materials needed in your craft box for this 1.5-hour live workshop to make yourself two beautiful Kokedamas to keep forever. Plus you will have the knowledge and skills to continue making as many DIY kokedamas as your heart desires!

The Plant Whisperer is an offer from Melbourne's own queen of the jungle, Haylee Magendans. Haylee is an avid nature lover and obsessive plant collector who's plant knowledge is second to none. Five years ago, Haylee left an unfulfilling corporate job to focus full time on her creative pursuits and her other passion, yoga, and she's happy to say it was the best decision she's ever made. Haylee now focuses almost solely on plants and plant workshops and runs some other creative events from time to time

My mission is to brighten bodies and homes with beautiful, well made and original pieces and luscious jungle plants. My work is continuously changing and evolving with my current inspirations and all items are one off or limited numbers. If you have something special you would like custom made, or for wholesale enquiry please get in touch.

Loved my class with Haley the Plant Whisperer. She was very organised and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of kokedama. Her presentation was easy to follow, great fun and very relaxing. She welcomed any questions and was very responsive and patient. One of the best classes I've done! Thank you.

Haylle is a born teacher. Her instructions are simple and easy to follow. She takes a step by step process and allows for all kinds of learners and abilities when providing instruction. She is happy to answer questions and includes future problem solving when providing instruction. The boxes come with live plants, still moist anf growing well, as well as enough materials to ensure there is more than enough for individual design or construction.
I have enjoyed the two different classes i have attended and would happily do more.
Thank you for the experince of learning a new skill, i have had a lovely time.
