Branch Out | Kokedama “Moss Ball” Workshop

This workshop is part of the Garden Museum's new Branch Out programme, a series of free events and activities exploring gardening, art, floristry, plant science, history, design, and more!

Come and create a whimsical Japanese plant binding Kokedama!

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the art of creating beautiful Kokedama plant arrangements. Kokedama, meaning “moss ball”, is a traditional Japanese gardening technique that involves binding plant roots with soil and moss, creating a unique and eye-catching hanging Kokedama. In this in-person event, you’ll get to unleash your creativity and craft your own Kokedama to take home.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature and explore a new way of showcasing plants.

This session is part of a seasonal Branch Out series.

Our Branch Out programme has been made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.

    Hello I am Hope, I am a workshop facilitator, stylist, and passionate permaculture gardener based in East Sussex. I take a keen interest in sharing crafts that have been around for many years, many from Japan, as their perception of beauty is firmly positioned in the love of imperfection. I look forward very much to welcoming you to another workshop at the wonderful Garden Museum.
