June 19 – Kokedama … (Japanese hanging moss garden). Kokedama directly translated to English means “moss ball”. Traditionally it is a ball of soil, covered with moss, on which a plant grows. These plants are visually stunning and easy to maintain. You can make one to put on a shelf or one to hang up! We will have enough supplies for everyone to make one Kokedama moss garden complete with one small plant.
July 3rd: Himmeli Air Plant Holders … The word ‘Himmeli’ is from German descent and means ‘sky’ or ‘heaven.’ Himmeli is a type of mobile made of small pipes or straws and wire. Traditionally they have been used in Nordic countries as Christmas decorations. We will have enough copper pipe and wire to make one air plant holder complete with one air plant. If you wish to make more, we will have extra colored plastic straws and wire available.
July 17th: Concrete Succulent Planters … In this workshop we will make our own concrete planter molds using cardboard and tape or recycled materials. There will be enough materials for everyone to make one concrete planter complete with a small succulent plant.
July 31st: Drift Wood Planter with Air Plants … In this workshop we will be gluing living air plants and dried moss and lichen onto drift wood to make beautiful living planters.
