In this hands-on class, you will learn the techniques behind the 1,500 year old art form from Japan called Kokedama or “poor man’s bonsai”.

You will then create your own Kokedama using various hand-formed techniques and patterns including mixing seven unique soil layers and preparing your moss and string.

Participants can choose to create two mini kokedamas for $65 (+ Eventbrite fees) or one medium kokedama for $55 (+ Eventbrite fees). All supplies included.

About the instructor:

Taylor Bates grew up surrounded by art in Miami before moving to middle Tennessee. Moving to Chattanooga for college and to start a family off grid homestead, he studied biology and psychology. With a passion for all things flora and foraged, Sacred Harvest was formed as a local plant collective. Specializing in ancient Japanese horticultural techniques, self sufficient ecoscapes, and all things forest foraged, Sacred Harvest jumped on the local art scene seven yrs ago. The goal was to inspire, create, and teach local communities the value of bringing outdoor natural beauty into indoor living spaces. On top of offering landscape design, wedding and event floral design services, they also offer local mountain foraged medicinal and gourmet mushrooms and veggies to the community.
