A traditional Japanese garden may feature hanging Kokedama moss balls. The spheres are hanging balls of soil, clay and small bonsai trees and plants, which are covered in moss. The Kokedama part of the ball is the bonsai tree or plant that only grows a few inches tall. Traditionally, the Japanese Kokedama ball could also sit on a plate in a lightly lit window. This workshop will demonstrate how you can make your own Japanese Kokedama moss balls.
