Experiences
If a hanging garden sounds a little beyond your plant skills, the Virtual Kokedama Workshop: Moss Ball Plant Sculpture shows your team just how easy and meditative it is to make one from home. It's one of the most charming and hands-on virtual team building activities for remote and hybrid teams across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, and it works beautifully for total beginners.
What Is Kokedama
Kokedama is the ancient Japanese art of growing a plant in a ball of soil wrapped in living moss, instead of a traditional pot. Often called a "moss ball," it adds instant personality and a sculptural, gallery-like touch to any plant collection. In this class you'll take a deep dive into the craft, learning the history and philosophy behind it while building your own with the guidance of a plant expert.
What You'll Make
With a plant, some moss, and a length of twine, you'll shape, wrap, and tie your very own kokedama moss ball. Your instructor walks the group through each step, so everyone finishes with a finished, display-worthy piece to hang or set on a shelf, plus simple care tips to keep it healthy at home or in the office.
What's Included
A DIY kit delivered to each participant's doorstep
A plant, moss, twine, and all materials needed
Live, step-by-step guidance from a plant expert
The history and care knowledge to keep your kokedama thriving
A Relaxing, Screen-Friendly Reset
Wrapping moss and shaping soil by hand is surprisingly soothing, and doing it together over video gives remote colleagues a warm, shared moment away from spreadsheets and meetings. Creative classes like this make excellent team building, letting groups socialize, laugh, and connect outside of work.
Perfect For
This workshop is a favorite for virtual team building, remote team bonding, corporate team building activities, offsites, holiday parties, and milestone celebrations. It's ideal for distributed teams, and it also makes a delightful virtual gift experience for plant-loving friends and family. Kits ship in advance, so everyone is ready to create together when the session begins.
How It Works
Once your session is booked, kits are sent to each participant. On the day, your instructor welcomes the group, shares the story behind kokedama, and guides everyone through building their moss ball step by step. The relaxed pace leaves plenty of room for creativity, questions, and conversation, and the team will help tailor timing and group size to your event.
By the end, your team will have bonded over something genuinely fun and walked away with a brand-new skill and a cute living plant sculpture to brighten any space. Book the Virtual Kokedama Workshop for a calming, creative activity that brings your remote team together.
