Projects Available at the Atrium

Kokedama

$25

Kokedama is a Japanese gardening art form that translates to “moss ball” and originates from the centuries-old bonsai tradition of displaying exposed roots. The plant’s root ball is wrapped in moss and soil, then secured with string, creating a “potless” display to hang or place on a surface. It’s a unique, space-saving, sculptural way to grow and display plants, blending nature with home décor. Our expert will guide you through every step, providing assembly and plant care information.

Pressed Flowers

$25

Create a true work of art as we help you transform nature’s beauty into a piece you’ll cherish for years to come. During this workshop, you’ll design your own unique floral masterpiece using vibrant pressed flowers and greenery, arranging them in a glass frame.

Succulent Tea Party

$25

Experience the joy of an English tea party at Ken’s Gardens! Attendees receive a freshly brewed cup of tea and pastries while learning about the customs of proper tea etiquette. Then we’ll play our own version of tea party bingo and provide tips on growing and using fresh mint for tea at home. This wonderful experience concludes with everyone creating their very own teacup garden using hand-selected succulents.

Terrarium Workshop

Small $25 | Medium $40

Create your own miniature paradise! Primarily used for home décor and low-maintenance indoor gardening, a terrarium is a clear glass container housing its own garden ecosystem, a controlled, high-humidity environment perfect for delicate tropical plants. You’ll choose a glass container, mini tropical plants, and embellishments, and our experienced instructors will provide guidance on assembly and plant care every step of the way.

Succulent Wine Bottle

$40

Think a wine bottle isn’t any fun without the wine? In this workshop, our experts will help you design a unique succulent garden inside an empty wine bottle and share tips and best practices on succulent care, styling, and display — because these little beauties deserve to be the center of attention!
