It may seem like a little way to help but it can make a big difference to a starving and struggling family. 

The Workshop

Kokedama, translates as “ball of moss”, and are plants which grow in a moss-covered ball and often sit on a decorative tray or plate on a table or shelf, they also look amazing hanging! 

During this workshop you will be guided through the steps of creating your own Kokedama, including selecting a suitable plant for your home, preparing the soil and moss, and forming the ball. You'll also learn how to care for your Kokedama and how to keep it thriving.

Decorative plates and bowls will also be included to help display your new plant sculpture so you can both hang and sit your Kokedama! 

This is a fun and creative workshop that allows you to connect with nature and make something beautiful to take home.
