Colorful Kokedama

Kokedama is a type of Japanese bonsai (also known as “the poor man’s bonsai”) that involves growing plants in a ball of soil wrapped in moss. Kokedama actually translates to “moss ball” in Japanese. In this fun workshop, Conservatory Horticulturist Jayton Howard will talk about the history of this form of garden art and demonstrate how to make this fun mossy creation. You’ll have fun with moss and get your hands messy as you make our own Kokedama to take home with you. For this workshop, we’ll be using plants that flower and fun, colorful decorations and moss to make these Kokedama really stand out from the rest! Jayton will provide all the information you need to properly care for and maintain your colorful mossy creation.
