A Japanese gardening tradition, known as the “poor man’s bonsai.” Kokedama, which translates to “moss ball,” is a centuries-old art form that celebrates the harmony between nature and design. This Massachusetts Horticultural Society workshop on July 17 at 10 am is centered around creating a beautiful living plant arrangement that is both decorative and unique. Led by Garden Educator, Melissa Pace, participants will learn the step-by-step process of shaping and sculpting the moss ball base. We will discuss plant selection, soil composition, and moss manipulation. Each kokedama is not only a living garden but also a captivating conversation piece, feel free to display your piece in a shallow dish or by hanging it! $40 for Mass Hort members, $53 for nonmembers.
