Kokedama String Gardening

February 5 | 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM

String Gardening is a term that has become attached to a style of Japanese bonsai known as Kokedama, which literally means “moss ball” in English. To create these “moss balls”, a plant is taken out of its pot, most of its soil removed, and is inserted into a ball of soil, wrapped in moss which is then held together with string, and hung from decorative string. Learn from Extension State Master Gardener Specialist Candice Hart the history of these interesting plantings, the exact process of making a string garden, and the specific care instructions. Participants will be sent a list of materials upon registration if they would like to build their own Kokedama during the class. Presenter: Candice Hart, University of Illinois Extension
