Kokedama Workshop | March 6th @ 6pm

Come spend the evening creating your very own Kokedama! This is an event in partnership with the Sagebrush Shack in Gettysburg! March 6th @ 6pm Kokedama, or "moss ball", is an ancient Japanese art form that is derived from the practice of the Nearai bonsai method, plants grown so compact and tightly that, when removed from a container, they hold well-grown roots and soil, forming a compact ball. It was referred to as "the poor man's bonsai", as it was a simpler, more affordable way for people to enjoy the tranquility of a Japanese garden in their homes. The tradition emerged over 500 years ago. The lack of man-made pots surrounding the plant mimics the natural environments in which plants grow and embodies the idea of mother nature being self-sufficient.
