I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher ---
Learn all about the Japanese art of creating pot-less plants, known as kokedama, from botanical extraordinaire Coraleigh Parker, and have a go at creating your own pot-less, hanging plants. Coraleigh's breath-taking moss ball creations, featuring ferns, succulents, herbs, orchids and even small trees, are suspended in mid-air and supported by nothing more than a series of strings or fishing lines, intricately wrapped around a root ball. Decorating with indoor plants has never been more popular and hanging kokedama is the ultimate botanical trend as it offers everything through a single, versatile and inexpensive craft; you can turn any of your favourite plants into a kokedama on a (shoe)string in no time.
I saw these first last week when I was in Japan – they are so interesting looking and imagine my surprise that I found a book about them on NetGalley! Fascinating short book (73 pages) and it looks easy to do and hopefully I won’t kill it too quickly. Great photos (loved the dog) and easy instructions --- start praying for my new living plants as I did kill a silk plant once😊
