Recent reviews of Kokedama Workshop

  • 5/5 from Julie Collins, attended Mar 2026: Monica was stellar! She arrived as expected and set everything up beautifully. The plant variety was excellent and everyone could pick their favorite. She was kind and helpful to my 15 guests and everyone was very happy with the experience and their plants. They keep sending me pictures! The best birthday celebration to share with people you care for. The playing in the dirt was great! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jose Manalo, attended Aug 2025: It was one of the most enjoyable, relaxing, satisfying hour I have spent lately. Our kokedama teacher Monica was knowledgable and clear. And we got to play with dirt! This was a gift and it was very easy to schedule and reschedule.
  • 5/5 from Maya Adamczyk, attended May 2025: Monika and her assistant led a wonderful class for our team! The class was part of our belated Earth Day celebrations and it was really interesting to learn about the art of Kokedama. The team enjoyed getting to play with the materials and feel like kids for a couple of hours. We learned a lot about the process, as well as fun Earth Day facts that Monika shared with us. Everyone created something they are proud of and will hopefully last us for years to come! Would definitely recommend the class to anyone looking for a fun and educational team-building activity.
  • 5/5 from Kristin Gambell, attended Sep 2024: The Kokedama class was great! Our members at the club loved it. Monica was wonderful and gave great instruction while assisting those that needed a bit more supervision and help. Elsa was great assisting. Thank you ClassBento!
