Kokedama is a creative team building workshop at the studio in Campbell, California, where each guest wraps a plant in a moss-covered ball of soil and takes it home. Kokedama is the centuries-old Japanese art of growing a plant without a pot, and this class teaches the full technique step by step to private groups of 2 to 10.
What You Will Make
Each guest leaves with a handmade kokedama: a living plant whose roots sit inside a ball of soil, bound with twine and finished with moss. No pot is needed. The finished moss ball brings nature indoors and makes a simple, living keepsake from the gathering. The studio sums up the class in three words: create, ground, grow.

Who It Suits at the Studio
The studio is an intimate, peaceful space made for slowing down and creating something alive. Private events there comfortably hold 8 to 10 guests, and this listing covers 2 to 10, so a workshop can be as small as two friends or a couple on a date. For a small office crew, it ranks among the more relaxed indoor team building activities for small groups, and for a few friends it is one of the fun team bonding activities that ends with a plant on every shelf.
Good Fit For
- Small team building groups looking for a calm, creative outing
- Birthday parties with friends
- Baby showers in an intimate setting
- Holiday party outings for a close group
- Workshops centered on wellness and relaxation
- Milestone celebrations and private group bookings
Why a Moss Ball Class?
Kokedama suits a group that wants a calm, sensory activity. Guests work directly with soil, moss and plants, and the studio designs its sessions around bonding, creativity, stress relief and wellness. Because the class is indoor and seated, it stays comfortable for every fitness level, and weather is never a factor.
Who Is This Kokedama Class For?
The studio lists the kokedama class for individuals and couples, as a date idea, a team building activity, a holiday party, or a birthday or bachelorette party. Groups larger than the studio's 8 to 10 guest comfort range can book the on-site kokedama workshop instead, which travels to offices and venues within 30 miles of Campbell.
When Is the Studio Open?
The studio is open Tuesday through Sunday, with hours that vary with events and the season. Workshops may take place during retail hours, so shoppers can be browsing curated plants nearby while your group builds.
What Should Guests Wear?
Comfortable clothing that can get a little dirty. Working with soil and moss gets pleasantly messy. Beyond that, guests bring nothing, since the studio provides every material. Food and drinks are not included.
How Long Is the Kokedama Class?
The core session is set for about one hour. The studio notes that most of its experiences run 1 to 2 hours and can be adjusted to a group's schedule, so a birthday or team outing can stretch a little longer when the group wants more time.
Add-Ons for a Longer Gathering
The studio lists optional add-ons that can join the plant activity: soap making, sound healing, candle making and a DJ package. Past clients rate the studio 4.9 stars.
