  • 5/5 from Neville Sturwohld, attended Jul 2021: My Kokedama workshop lesson was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I thoroughly enjoy the class. The Plant Whisperer was a very clear and patient teacher. Haylee gave us clear instruction on what to do and gave us time and encouragement to complete each part of the lesson before moving on. We were encouraged to ask questions and show our work. I really had fun. It was messy, mud on the table and on the floor. But the end product is just great. I have enclosed photos. I'm not sure where to hang my Ivy one yet, I thought it would be nice in the ensuite but my wife said no would see it there, its too beautiful to be hidden away. I'm looking forward to doing more before I forget how to do it. Thanks Haylee it was a great time.
  • 5/5 from Tomislav Bacek, attended Jul 2021: It was nice and fun. The teacher was very kind and friendly and approachable, and explained everything well. The meeting was very informative and interesting.

  • 5/5 from Bianca, attended Mar 2021: This was a great class. The instructor explained everything in a very easy to understand manner. The class was relaxing and enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Tracy-Ann, attended Mar 2021: 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.
