Description
In this experience, we will dive into the Japanese art of kokedamas. We will first talk about the fascinating history of this old art form, as well as how it is related to Japanese customs and the philosophy of wabi sabi. Then, I will show you how to make your first kokedama. Making kokedamas involves turning peat moss into a soil ball and then wrapping it in sheet moss to create a self sustaining pot to hold your plant. Each person will have their own station to create TWO kokedamas, that will eventually be taken home.
This is perfect for those who are looking for a romantic and unique date or an enjoyable time spent with a family member learning a new trade. We have hosted many birthday and bachelorette parties, if you are looking for a special way to celebrate in nature. We are also perfect for group team building if you'd like to do a private corporate/business class.
Come prepared to get your hands dirty!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Spooky Halloween Class: This class includes your own Halloween-inspired charcuterie board, a seasonal mocktail, the full 1.5 hour kokedama class (you make 2 kokedamas) and a little festive fun along the way. Bring your friends, family, or someone special, and don't forget your Halloween costume - extra points for dressing up! All materials are included, and no experience is necessary.

FAQ
"We had a wonderful time doing this on a Sunday afternoon! It was the perfect day time activity, getting our hands dirty but not overdoing it 😅 I have a black thumb when it comes to plants so I was nervous how they would turn out. Props to Topacio for choosing high quality plants and materials."– Maria G.
"This class is absolutely magical, I didn’t want to leave! I learned a lot and it was super fun! Topacio is an excellent teacher and instilled so much confidence in me. I can’t wait to fill my house with more kokedama!"– Debbie M.
" This is a wonderful hands-on experience that you will love! It’s a magical backyard setting when you enter and the host is so kind and sweet! The set up was perfect and my daughter and I absolutely loved making our Kokedamaa 😊 "- Tracy
"This was a WONDERFUL experience! Instructions were easy to follow, in a relaxing, outdoor environment. Beautiful music was played during my class, refreshments were offered and oranges from the tree picked. By the end of the class, I had two beautiful Kokedama with the know how to make myself more. Our instructor even gave us tips on where to purchase diy supplies and how to take care of my plants at home. I HIGHLY recommend this experience!!"– Maggie G.
