1.5 hours Location Echo Park Class size 1 to 15 (public classes), 2 to 30   $95

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to connect with nature in LA? This kokedama workshop invites you to roll up your sleeves and dive into the Japanese art of moss ball gardening! Taught in your instructor’s gorgeous, Italian-inspired backyard, this outdoor class starts with a look at the rich history and philosophy behind kokedamas—including the wabi-sabi aesthetic of embracing imperfection and the beauty of nature’s cycles.
Then, it’s time to get messy—in the best way possible. You’ll learn how to create your own kokedamas by shaping peat moss into soil balls, wrapping them in lush sheet moss, and turning them into self-sustaining, soil-free homes for your plants. Each guest will have their own station and will leave with two kokedamas to take home and admire.
This creative, nature-inspired class is a favorite for romantic date nights, birthdays, and team-building events in Los Angeles. Whether you’re planning a unique celebration or just looking to unwind with friends in a beautiful setting, this kokedama experience is the perfect way to celebrate life’s little joys.

Recent reviews of Kokedama Plant Making Class

  • 5/5 from Sharmaine Liquigan, attended Jul 2026: Had an amazing experience! The instructor was incredibly accommodating when our party arrived a little late. She was super informative about kokedamas and so patient as she guided us through each step. Highly recommend this workshop!
  • 5/5 from Sonia Shah, attended May 2025: The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate. She took the time to explain the art of Kokedama in a way that was easy to follow, while keeping the class relaxed and fun. All the materials were prepared and of great quality from the plants to the soil and moss. It was such a joy to get my hands dirty and learn how to shape, wrap, and care for these beautiful plant creations. By the end, we each had our own handmade Kokedama to take home and I left with a deeper appreciation for the calming, creative nature of working with plants. I highly recommend this class.

LA Plant Club began in 2017 when founder Topacio Althaus started selling kokedamas out of a cozy Los Angeles café. Before long, the moss-wrapped plants stole the spotlight from the lattes, inspiring Topacio to grow her offerings to include moss walls, hands-on workshops, and plant-inspired goods.
As a native Angeleno with a deep love for greenery, Topacio wanted to share the calming, creative joy of kokedama-making with her Echo Park community. She began hosting classes as a way for people to slow down, get their hands dirty, and connect—with nature, with each other, and with the rich Japanese tradition behind the art.
Today, LA Plant Club is a welcoming space where you can unplug, play with plants, and create something beautiful. Whether you’re joining us for a class, a celebration, or a quiet moment to yourself, we hope you leave feeling refreshed—and maybe with a new friend or two.
