Kokedama is a Japanese word that, simply translated, means “moss ball”.

It is a traditional Japanese gardening technique of creating an artful, instagrammable plant wrapped in a ball of soil, covered with moss.

Making Kokedama is a fun process that involves stripping soil from the plant’s roots, and using a special soil blend to sculpt the plant into a ball, which is later bound with moss.

Based on a form of bonsai, these moss covered hanging orbs are the perfect addition to your home, or even as a gift!

Come learn the art of making spring inspired Japanese Kokedamas.

Kit includes: Kokedama plant, 5″ ceramic plant plate, Kokedama soil mix, jute string for twining.

It’s an all-inclusive workshop, you come empty handed and take a Kokedama with a plant plate to nurture and cherish.
