About this Event
Creating Kokedama with Uncommon Plant Guy
Love plants? Need an excuse to make some plans?
Join Uncommon Plant Guy, Chicago’s houseplant expert, for a hands-on workshop at ERIS BrewPub where you’ll craft your own kokedama—a stunning Japanese moss ball planter and living piece of art.
🌿 What to Expect:
Bring your friends and dive into the world of wabi-sabi—the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. No experience needed! You’ll get step-by-step instruction from a local plant expert, learn kokedama technique, and walk away with a plant you’ll be proud of.
This is more than just a plant workshop—it’s a chance to slow down, reconnect with your hands, and experience a bit of calm in a busy world. Many participants say the process is soothing, grounding, and a much-needed break for their nervous system.
❓ What the Heck is a Kokedama?
Kokedama (pronounced koh-keh-DAH-mah) is a centuries-old Japanese art form that transforms the root system of a plant into a beautiful, freestanding moss ball. It’s like a living sculpture—no pot required! These unique planters can be displayed on a tray, dish, or even hung for a floating garden vibe.
It’s the perfect blend of nature, design, and meditative craft.
