Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a course on Kokedama presented by the Kanawha County Master Gardeners. Kokedama is a centuries-old Japanese form of garden art that is closely tied to the practice of bonsai. “Koke” means moss, and “dama” means ball.

Kokedama involves using a moss ball as the support and the focal point for a plant that consists of wrapping the plant’s roots in a ball of soil which you then cover with moss. This class includes a PowerPoint, detailed instructions, and demonstration of how to wrap the plant into a moss ball.

This program is presented by Kanawha County Master Gardener Pam King.

The West Virginia University Extension Master Gardener Program is a volunteer educational program meeting the horticultural needs of everyday West Virginians. The program trains volunteers, utilizing their expertise to teach others more about plants, their culture, their importance to the environment and to our quality of life.
