WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Our Ficus Kokedama Workshop puts a creative spin on bonsai in one of the most hands-on, satisfying formats.
Perfect for plant lovers of all levels, this session teaches you how to turn a lush ficus bonsai into a living moss ball—known as kokedama, a traditional Japanese art form. You’ll sculpt, bind, and wrap your kokedama using decorative string, natural textures, and your own creative flair. To prepare for display, custom stain your own pedestal to show-off your new live art!
Grab a drink, roll up your sleeves, and craft a sculptural plant piece that’s as low-maintenance as it is beautiful. It's a full vibe—and you’ll leave with a living artwork ready to add style anywhere!
