Kokedama Plant Workshop
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. Save $$ with a group of two or more tickets!
