‘Moss ball bonsai,’ Kokedama is the Japanese art of planting without pots. A ball of soil or clay is covered with moss is used to support the plant’s roots. Considered to be cheerful, peaceful, and calm, this charming design style began in the seventeen century. Perfect in small spaces, Kokedama are often presented on decorative plates, wood branches, or stone but they can also be suspended in the air with the help of a cord. In this workshop, you’ll learn the history of this art, get an introduction to moss (an often ignored member of the plant kingdom), and learn to make your own beautiful kokedama. An unusual and low-maintenance hostess or holiday present!

About Vivian Li
Vivian and Nick launched nVi Garden in 2016 where they focused on selling small planters and succulent soils. They only had a small table of succulents that they carefully propagated for sale. With their success in capturing the hearts of many customers, this plant-loving couple decided to take their business to the next level. In 2017, nVi Gardens was officially rebranded to focus on selling the most sought-after, and rare succulents. What started as a small poly greenhouse has now grown to a 2800 sqft space where succulents are constantly propagating year-round to ensure customers can find something in every season! With the plant trends evolving through the years (especially during the pandemic), nVi Garden has also started to include foliage, air plants, and cactus to ensure that there’s something for everyone.
