About this course

Create three different plant based projects: a kokedama, the art of suspending plants, without pots in mossballs; a living wreath, using succulents and fresh moss that will grow throughout the year and a terrarium, a garden in a bottle.

Course Description

During the day, you will learn how to make three completely different plant-based projects. There will be three sessions, which include:

1. Kokedama – this is the art of suspending plants, without pots, in mossballs. During this session, you will learn about different substrates that make up a good soil, how to pick the perfect plant, as well as a small introduction to macramé!

2. Closed terrarium – during this session, you will learn how to plant up your very own demijohn, so you will have your very own garden in a bottle.

3. Living wreath – using succulents and fresh moss, the tutor will guide you in how to make a wreath that will live and grow throughout the year.
