Kokedama class at Glass Garden Studio in Apex, NC

What is a kokedama?

Kokedama means "moss ball" in Japanese. Instead of a pot, your plant's roots are wrapped in soil and a blanket of soft green moss, tied with twine into a ball you can set on a dish or hang. It is equal parts plant and sculpture.

In this class you build one from scratch at our studio table in Apex. No pot, no mess to take home, just a living little piece of art. It is one of the easiest ways to try something new with plants, even if you have never kept one alive.

What you make and what's included

Your own kokedama. Pick your plant, wrap the roots, shape the moss, and tie it off. You take it home the same night.
All the materials. Plant, soil, moss, twine, and tools are set out and ready. Just show up.
Hands-on help. We walk you through every step and share how to keep it happy at home.
The details. $70 per person, about an hour, seats are limited so the table stays relaxed.

Who it's for

First-timers are the whole point. If you have wanted to try plants but felt like you would kill them, this is a low-pressure way in. We keep it fun and go at your pace.

It is also a favorite for a girls' night, a date night, or a small group looking for something better than dinner and a movie. Booking for a group? See our private parties and team building instead.

How the class works

First, book your spot online and pick a date that works. We hold a seat for you at the table.

On class night, come in and settle in. We hand out the plants and materials, then walk the whole group through building a kokedama step by step.

You leave with your finished moss ball and simple care tips. Come in, get your hands a little dirty, leave happy.
