  • 5/5 from Jane Neagle, attended Aug 2026: I was given this class as a Mother's Day gift from my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Our teacher Ellie was lovely and explained everything well and was very helpful when we needed her. Everything we needed to complete the project was provided. My Mum joined me in doing this class and we both enjoyed the evening and were happy with our final product. I would highly recommend doing this class.
  • 5/5 from Natalie Finney, attended Jun 2026: A wonderful, fun and informative workshop. Ellie was so motivating and knowledgeable Will definitely book again for their other classes. Beautiful studio - Kevin the Kokedama has a new home!!!
  • 5/5 from Jenny Clarke, attended Jun 2026: Good fun a nice thing to do with friends.
  • 5/5 from Julie-Ann Watkins, attended Jun 2026: This class was so much fun and easy. I came home with a lovely hanging plant. The teacher was patient and very helpful. Well worth doing. I got mine through a gift voucher from my son. It was an easy process to claim my gift voucher class.
  • 5/5 from Karen Walters, attended Nov 2025: The teacher was awesome, very personable, and took the time to explain each step and why, and tips for caring for our kokedama down the track. Venue was very well set up, and everything was already set out for each of us, ready to start. Top class experience for us, very happy.
  • 5/5 from Veronica Taylor, attended Nov 2025: This class was beautifully presented and Ellie was a lovely teacher. Thoughly enjoyed my afternoon and the results.
  • 5/5 from Felicity Osborne, attended Apr 2025: I recently attended a Kokedama class and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the instructor was knowledgeable and encouraging. I especially appreciated the balance between creativity and guidance. There was room to make your own style choices, and everyone’s final piece looked unique. Plus, I left with not just a beautiful plant to hang at home but also the skills to make more on my own.
  • 5/5 from Eileen Browning, attended Mar 2025: Great quick and easy class. In our class we got to learn how to make a Little Kokedama. Our teacher was really nice and we enjoyed the most that it was easy to just rock up, do the workshop and leave with something to enjoy and remember the glass. The class was a bit shorter than expected, and although personally it didn’t feel rushed I do believe some people felt a little rushed through as it’s the sort of craft that some people will go through the process at different speeds to others. Overall enjoyable class and highly recommend. It is a standing class so for anyone who needs to sit this should be notated.
  • 5/5 from Jodhi McGee, attended Feb 2025: This was a fantastic workshop, Ellie was really helpful!
  • 5/5 from Helen Chapman, attended Feb 2025: Was great fun getting stuck into the dirt with lovely Ellie guiding us every step of the way, she was very patient. We loved our Kokedamas, nice take home memory for everyone.
  • 5/5 from Shari Hemburrow, attended Nov 2024: The trainer was very friendly and made us feel welcome & comfortable, she answered all our questions. We made the Kokadama, with easy to understand instructions from the trainer. I would recommend this Kokadama making to anyone for Birthdays, Xmas, get together, any gift idea.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Strathern, attended Nov 2024: Enjoyable class with knowledgeable and pleasant teacher. Class size and length of time good. Only downside there were not enough stools for everyone which maybe something for teacher to consider.
  • 5/5 from Jacqui Medina, attended Oct 2024: I enjoyed this activity. It was fun winding the string and moulding the moss and soil into a sphere. Such a beautiful green addition to my apartment
  • 5/5 from Karri Neldner, attended Jul 2024: we made a kokedama - it was a fun activity and the teacher was enthusiastic and helpful, and it was so nice to have a beautiful plant and presentation to bring home with us after the event. we really liked that the teacher was mobile and could come and join us at the airbnb. for the price we paid however, maybe throwing in a bottle of champagne or something would help, as it felt quite expensive per person for just an hour of activity.
  • 5/5 from Kara Lees, attended Oct 2023: Ellie was great, and the class was awesome. Would definitely recommend And would do it again :)
  • 5/5 from Helen Wallman, attended Jun 2023: I throughly enjoyed my class with Ella today. It was fun making the Kakendama with Ella. Ella is very helpful and I am looking forward to going more classes with her. Lovely friendly lady.
