Kokedama

Basically it's a new trend in using a Japanese garden art and a variation of bonsai style of planting!

I had an opportunity, with two friends, to attend a Minnesota State Horticulture Society class/workshop and make one this week!  Was a fun outing with gardening friends and an easy project to learn.  The class was only an hour and hands on, so we all left with a completed Kokedama featuring a beautiful miniature orchid to enjoy!

Literally, Kokedama translates as "Koke" moss and "dama" ball.  It's a unique way at to present and display plants.  We saw finished examples of succulents, ferns, and misc. house plants completed!  They can be displayed by hanging with the twine used in wrapping the moss and soil into a ball or displayed in a dish/container. 

I definitely will enjoy my Kokedama and am looking forward to creating some more!
