Houseplant Workshop @ Burning Bush

A hands-on, beginner-friendly plant night—perfect for a night out with friends, a date, or solo self-care

Looking for a creative and relaxing night out? Join the Uncommon Plant Guy—Chicago’s houseplant expert—for a 90-minute experience where you’ll create your very own kokedama: a stunning Japanese-inspired moss ball planter. It’s the perfect mix of mindful crafting, plant care, and a little bit of dirt-under-your-fingernails joy.

You’ll leave with a beautiful, rustic-chic living sculpture — a one-of-a-kind piece that brings simple, organic beauty to your home.

• A healthy, high-quality plant to add to your colleciton at home
• All materials to create your kokedama
• A step-by-step workbook with detailed care guide
• Expert instruction on plant care to help your kokedama thrive long after the workshop

Bring your friends (or come solo!), grab a drink, and dive into the calming world of wabi-sabi—the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection.You’ll be guided step-by-step through crafting your kokedama, while also learning all about your specific plant: how to care for it, when to water it, and how to help it flourish at home.

No prior plant experience needed. Just show up, get your hands a little dirty, and leave with something beautiful that adds a touch of rustic, boho-inspired charm to your space.
