Get your hands dirty playing in the dirt, while making holiday gifts for friends/family at The Farm at South Mountain. Learn all about the secrets of floral design at our upcoming Kokedama Christmas String Garden Gift Workshop. The class is geared towards the beginner, so you can relax and have fun exploring floral design with the aid of helpful plant gurus who can answer all your questions.

The class includes all materials (moss, bonsai soil, string, succulents) needed to create two beautiful kokedamas to take away. Expert plant care and maintenance will also be covered in the class.

Kokedama is an old art form of floral design originating out of Japan over 500 years ago. It is also often referred to as the poor man’s bonsai. Instead of a pot, moss is used as a container for planting. The focus for our upcoming Kokedama String Garden Workshop will be on utilizing succulents to create a living piece of art.
