Wow, what an amazing morning learning about different native plants.

Thank you Janna, for sharing all of your knowledge and teaching us the art of how to create Kokedoma.

We chose our own plant and made a mixture of soil to embed our plant roots.
We lay the plant on a nest of moss and covered our mud ball fully with moss before wrapping our creation in jute string.
The results speak for themselves!

Kokedama is a Japanese gardening technique that grew out of bonsai culture. It involves shaping a plant’s root ball into a sphere of soil, covering it in moss and binding it with twine so it can hang or sit on a dish. Through this workshop, students learned how roots draw in water and nutrients, how moss helps retain moisture, and how careful handling keeps plants healthy. They also picked up basic soil mixing skills and discovered the patience and attention needed to help a living piece of art thrive.
