Gardening

Well made and matured compost is an essential ingredient of healthy soil. When our soils are full of nutrients, aerated and happy we are able to grow strong vegetables. Often people struggle to get their heads around what to do with kitchen scraps, and unless made properly organic waste can start to turn into a smelly mess!

The word Kokedama simply means ‘moss ball’ but we think it’s so much more exciting than that! In this class you will learn how to take an ordinary small plant and wrap it in moss and string, turning it into an extraordinary ball-shaped delight that you can hang anywhere inside your home. This is a great opportunity to get your hands into some dirt and play with plants while learning a new craft.

Kokedama are likened to bonsai; small, trained gardens for the home but with one major difference. Set in a freestanding ball of green, moss-covered soil rather than planted in a pot, kokedama are individual ornamental plants that, when hung up, appear as small and verdant floating planets.

The class will cover the messy (but fun) process and design aesthetics of making kokedama.
