Los Angeles Plant Club

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.
