Kokedama DIY Kit – Create Your Own Moss Ball Art
Unleash your creativity and connect with nature by making your own kokedama, a traditional Japanese moss ball. This complete DIY kit includes everything you need to craft your own living sculpture – ideal for beginners, plant lovers, or as a unique gift.
What is Kokedama?
Kokedama, meaning moss ball in Japanese, is a beautiful form of botanical art where a plant’s roots are wrapped in a nutrient-rich soil mix, then encased in moss. Displayed hanging or on a tray, kokedama are a striking and minimalist way to showcase your plants – perfect for home, office, or gifting.
Why Choose Our Kit?
Unlike other kits, we use the highest quality, sustainably sourced moss, hand-harvested in Scotland. Our moss has featured in RHS Chelsea Flower Show and major UK garden displays. Each kit is handcrafted at Highland Moss and includes our own kokedama soil mix, carefully balanced to nourish your plant and hold moisture without becoming waterlogged.
