Two Japanese gardeners, Midori and Mijo, have arrived at the library. They've come in their traditional Japanese attire to teach participants how to create unique kokedamas. We'll all enjoy creating kokedamas so we can all take them home.
In order to bring Japanese culture closer to home, we present this ancient Japanese art of small-scale gardening. By learning to care for the environment, we teach how to create kokedamas, natural plants handcrafted following a traditional Japanese technique, which consists of housing the plant in an organic moss ball-shaped pot, hence its name Koke (moss) Dama (ball). This unique discipline derives from the popular Bonsai technique, with which it shares many similarities, serving as a guide to create a new concept that allows us to work with any variety of plant, fostering the ideal conditions for its perfect development.
