A calming botanical workshop inspired by Japanese craftsmanship
Join Green & Grounded at Potty MCR’s Sunshine Plant Collective for a relaxed and creative afternoon learning the beautiful Japanese art of Kokedama.
Kokedama — meaning “moss ball” — is a unique way of displaying plants without traditional pots. During this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own living moss ball planter using natural materials, sustainable techniques, and a carefully selected indoor plant to take home with you.
Whether you’re a seasoned plant lover or completely new to houseplants, this workshop is designed to be fun, welcoming, and beginner friendly.
