Creating a Kokedama in a floral workshop with expert botanist

Kokedama literally means 'moss ball' and identifies an ancient technique of Japanese origin whereby a vase is made entirely by hand, working with clay and roots, one of the most beautiful botanical creations.

Transforming a simple earth mixture into a perfectly spherical and harmonious shape requires skill and special manual skills: a therapeutic process, order blossoms from chaos; the Kokedama proposes a relaxing image, thanks precisely to the absence of edges, in line with Feng Shui philosophy.

The owner of the floral workshop is an expert botanist, but prefers to call herself a green artisan. She will welcome you into her creative boutique to guide you through the creation of a Kokedama, one step at a time, along a path suitable for adults and children from 8 years of age.

All the materials required for the composition will be provided to you on site. You will thus realise your Kokedama through a 100% eco-friendly process: when it is finished, you will take it with you as tangible proof of your creative act and your new floral skills.
