What happens in this class?

You may well be wondering what on earth is a Kokedama? Which is a fair point as the name is not a mainstream term...YET! It's the ancient art form of creating a traditional Japanese hanging garden and the latest botanical craze, currently sweeping LA and Sydney following on from the 2018 botanical trend and all round obsession with terrariums!

“Kokedama” is a Japanese word which literally translated means moss ball. Using traditional wrapping techniques and soil combinations we teach you the skills required to create these wonderful pot-less hanging plants. Not only does a Kokedama look amazing…

Such an uplifting thing to do post-more restrictions! Hayley was a great teacher and it was really interesting to hear more about Kokedama as well as the other workshops she runs, and her background. The space itself is a great find and was very safe and clean. Everyone wore face masks so it felt perfectly safe. I'd never done anything like that before so felt quite proud taking my three new plants home! I'd highly recommend people to try this workshop out.

This was such a fun workshop! A great introduction to the Japanese art of Kokedama. The class size was small enough for our fab instructor, Hayley, to be able to give one to one guidance and everyone came away with 3 plants. Everything was very clean and covid-friendly, with social distancing, individual equipment and plenty of hand sanitiser. Cupcakes and prosecco was a nice touch too!

We really enjoyed getting our hands dirty at Hayley's kokedama class. A relaxed venue, friendly folks and high quality end products to take home - we heartily recommend.

Lovely studio space (with a superb jewellery shop at the front!) . Hayley is charming and knowledgeable. You actually get to make three kokedama while sipping sake or Prosecco and eating Japanese nibbles. Great fun!

We had so much fun doing this. Hayley was a great host, creative and knowledgeable. And we have a couple of great unusual hanging plants to show for it :)

Hayley was a wonderful host and teacher for the Japanese hanging garden class! I had such a fun time and love my plants I took home with me to create a peaceful oasis in my little studio flat of a home. The event was held in a beautiful space which really complimented the class being taught. I highly recommend spending the afternoon or evening enjoying one of Hayley’s lovely workshops.

This was the most amazing and creative workshop I have ever been. Being a plant and nature lover this workshop could have never been better than it was. A lot of creativity and good vibes going in the room and Hayley was super friendly and making sure we were all enjoying and making the most of the experience. Hanging gardens, could not believe I made one of my own and thanks to Hayley and this amazing workshop opportunity. If you love plants and nature, I would highly recommend. So much fun and bliss!

The event was super! creating something so beautiful with earth products in lovely surroundings with a great host!! My little plants look striking in my flat. Hopefully they will grow to really impress!! Looking forward to my next session with Hayley and learning new interior tricks along with good company.

I had a great time making kokedama. Hayley, the host was great fun and entertaining- she helped us all learn quickly and gave us confidence - like anything was possible!! Since the class I have made some more as they make great trendy and unusual gifts. I feel like an expert!!!!! It was a great night out doing something creative and having some fun (and a little drink) in a lovely venue. Will definitely do more classes with Hayley.

I LOVE indoor plants and creating an urban garden indoors so this class was perfect for me! I am obsessed with my hanging bundle of joy and I am desperate to make more! Hayley was a great teacher who was incredibly informative and made the class really fun, can't wait to do another class of hers soon!
Anonymous - 8 February 2019
Hayley was an amazing teacher, not only was she informative but made the class really fun. I took her class by myself and met some really lovely people and learned a new skill. The space was absolutely beautiful and decorated specially for her particular class which made it feel really different and also made me excited to take other classes of hers in the same space!
Sydney - 7 February 2019
This class was so much fun and I'm crazy about my plant! Hayley is an absolute pleasure to be around and it felt so good to get my hands dirty and working with nature (in the comfort of being indoors ;) ) this class is not to be missed. I already want to come back.
