What you'll do

Have fun and learn how to make your own DIY Kokedama to take home at this fun mobile workshop with Petali Australia!

Kokedama is a form of Japanese garden art that is centuries old and tied into the practice of bonsai. The idea has its origins in Japan, where it is a combination of the Nearai bonsai and Kusamono planting styles. Today, Kokedama is very popular for balcony gardens, indoor spaces and even make fabulous gifts.

This class is the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to have some hands-on experience working with Kokedama. This casual and fun workshop will teach you everything you need to know about how to make and care for your gorgeous Japanese moss ball.

Your teacher will give detailed demonstrations and will be on hand to answer any questions as you then create your own small and medium Kokedama plants to take home. During the class, you’ll have the chance to experiment and create using different succulents and indoor plants.

This fun, hands-on workshop is a perfect idea to gift to friends and family, for corporate team building activities or just to learn something new.

You will come away with two beautiful kokedama plants and an appreciation for this fun plant craft!

Please note: when booking. All classes are mobile and are conducted at your venue. Minimum participants apply. Minimum of 2.

Recent reviews of Kokedama Making Workshop

5/5 from Karen Alcock, attended Jan 2026: My husband and I loved this class which was my birthday gift from our adult children. A fantastic creative gift to receive, leaving us with easy ideas for future creativity. Evie came to our garden and made the learning process slick and easy too.
5/5 from Jane Hobson, attended Jan 2026: We had the best time today at our Kokedama workshop. Evie was so knowledgeable and had such a great way of teaching us all we needed to end up with our fab Kokedamas.
5/5 from Norma Prabhu and Anita Prabhu, attended Jan 2026: I requested a class as a gift for my mother and her friend. They loved the class, it was hands-on and interesting.
5/5 from Katie Austin, attended Sep 2025: Here’s a polished review you could post online or share directly with the business: --- ️️️️️ **Kokedama Making Workshop – Highly Recommend!** We booked a Kokedama making lesson as part of a friend’s 40th birthday celebration, and it was absolutely fantastic! Evie set a relaxed, creative atmosphere. The workshop was hands-on, fun, and surprisingly therapeutic—everyone, even those who aren’t naturally crafty, came away with a beautiful plant creation they were proud of. Evie was patient, knowledgeable, and full of great tips, guiding us step-by-step while still giving us the freedom to add our own personal touches. It turned out to be such a memorable way to celebrate a milestone birthday. I can’t recommend Evie’s Kokedama class enough!
5/5 from Eeva Cornish, attended Jan 2025: What a great thing to do with friends! I would highly recommend kokedama making class for anyone. Fantastic group activity!
5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Super lovely way to spend an afternoon!
5/5 from Sonya Jenkins, attended Aug 2024: The Kokedama Japanese Succulent class is truly an amazing way to be creative & calm while expanding your plant life around the house.

5/5 from Ross Leighner, attended Jul 2024: Evie was absolutely phenomenal as an instructor and guest to our house for the day to be exposed to the world of Kokedema. She was incredibly insightful providing lots of fun-facts and historical knowledge. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday afternoon and would highly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in plants and getting their hands in soil. Would be great for individuals, couples, families, and even corporate / team building opportunities.
5/5 from Kelly Tomlinson, attended May 2024: Evie was fantastic, she came to our office & speedily set everything up (as well as cleaned up!), making the team feel comfortable through the whole activity.

Evie our teacher was very helpful and informative she was extremely knowledgeable and explained the process so we all made beautiful plantings Thank you Evie
4/5 from Raelene Sebastian, attended Jan 2024: The workshop was a great experience. The guests were able to take home 2 or 3 kokedamas! Some of our guests are also teachers so they were keen to use this for future lessons. Evie unfortunately had a flat tyre on the way to our event (Bridal Shower) and asked if she should still attend. Fortunately she was able to be there only 30 mins later than originally planned! Bride and guests were happy!
5/5 from Debra Tanne, attended Dec 2023: Evie was amazing. She was organised and so entertaining. She had everyone relaxed and engaged from the start. The kokodama is amazing and the whole team loved the experience. We are looking forward to planning another one.
5/5 from Jill Sueoka, attended Dec 2023: Evie came to our house and was so lovely and so patient with our group of 10 year olds. It happened to be the hottest December day ever, and she was so agreeable and helpful in making the kokedama despite the miserable heat. She brought all the materials, set up, and tidied up. She says she also does terrariums so I'd love to try that next time. Highly recommended. Thanks Evie!
5/5 from Jessie Martins, attended Jul 2023: Evie was wonderful, early to set up and introduce herself and the workshop was a great way to unwind for the afternoon as a team. Evie was able to deliver the workshop onsite at our workplace. Definitely recommend.
5/5 from Gaby Palestra-Depasse, attended Jun 2023: Highly recommend booking this class. We booked as a fun, different thing to do for my Mum's birthday. Evie came to our home with all of the materials, we didn't have to do a thing except provide a space that would be suitable. We all enjoyed learning how to make kokedama's, getting our hands a bit dirty, and learning about how to look after these beautiful little plants from Evie. Super fun, easy, and interesting!

5/5 from Karen Edwards, attended Mar 2022: Evie Dox is a brilliant teacher who is very professional and incredibly patient and so much fun!

5/5 from Jeonga Oh, attended Mar 2022: Strongly, I recommend Evie's class. She is super friendly. You can enjoy and have fun her class^^
5/5 from Adriana Yuen, attended Mar 2022: Fantastic mother-son activity. The place was welcoming and well set up for a small workshop. Because of the small group size everyone had the opportunity to ask questions and get help. Instructions were easy to follow and I loved the print out so we can give it another go at home. Plant selection was good and the allocated time was perfect to create 2 pieces. Wonderful way to bond with my 12-year old son.
5/5 from Lucy Armstrong, attended Jan 2022: Evie was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The setup was perfect for a small class with everything we needed supplied. My husband and I really loved this little workshop.
