Kokedama Workshop

Discover the beautiful art of Kokedama in this relaxed, hands-on botanical workshop with Plant Homewares.Kokedama transforms a living plant into a sculptural botanical feature by surrounding its root system with a specially prepared growing medium, then wrapping and binding it to create its distinctive moss-covered form.During this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll create your own Kokedama from start to finish while learning the horticultural principles that help keep it healthy long after the class is over.We'll explore suitable plants, growing media, moisture management, and positioning before getting our hands dirty and building together.You'll learn how to prepare your plant, form a stable growing ball around the roots, apply the moss, and master the wrapping and binding technique that gives Kokedama its characteristic finish.But we won't stop once it looks beautiful.You'll also learn how to tell when your Kokedama needs water, the best way to water it, where to position it at home, and what to watch for as your plant grows.No previous gardening or plant experience is necessary.
