Sips + STEM: The Art of Kokedama

  • Science Mill 101 South Lady Bird Lane Johnson City, TX, 78636 United States (map)

An AFTERNOON of botanical design, science, and a beautifully poured glass.

Step into a hands-on experience exploring kokedama—the Japanese art of growing plants in sculptural, moss-wrapped forms. Guided through the process, you’ll create your own living piece while discovering the science behind it, from soil composition and moisture retention to plant selection and long-term care.

As you shape, wrap, and refine your kokedama, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how plants absorb water and nutrients—and how this elegant method supports a thriving, self-contained ecosystem.

This experience is designed to be shared. Gather with friends, bring someone you love, or enjoy a thoughtfully curated evening out—pairing the quiet beauty of Japanese gardening with wine and charcuterie from Vinovium.

By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a finished botanical creation and the knowledge to care for it at home.
