About Botanical Design Collective
Summer Camp in Jersey City
The Botanical Design Collective Summer Camp is a one-week immersive program for kids and teens ages 10–16, located in Downtown Jersey City.
In partnership with local plant shop PLNTD, campers will explore the art of plant care and design while creating their own living works of art. Using traditional Japanese techniques like kokedama (moss ball planting), campers will design moss gardens, learn about plant biology, sustainability, and mindful gardening practices. This hands-on week blends creativity, nature, and culture as children nurture plants from start to finish and take home beautiful, living creations.
Meet the Instructor
Instructor from PLNTD, a local botanical shop, will lead campers in plant design, care, and eco-friendly art.
