Orchid and Live Moss Kokedama Workshop at Ossipoff Cabin - February 2026
Saturday February 28, 10am-1pm
Andrew Mau + Courtney Monahan are a creative collaboration that brings color, creativity, and joy to Pālehua when they host onsite workshops. This event brings the Japanese planting style of kokedama to Ossipoff Cabin, which also draws inspiration from Japanese architecture. It is a great experience for both beginners and kokedama enthusiasts!
Kokedama are a way to bring potted plants into the home – without a pot. Instead, moss creates an organic container for soil and plant. All materials will be provided.
The 3-hour workshop includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain and three hours of instruction. Guests can look forward to refreshments and time to explore Vladimir Ossipoffʻs personal retreat.
Ossipoff Cabin was built in the mid 1950s by Vladimir Ossipoff and restored in 2020 by the Gill ʻohana. The cabinʻs Japanese-inspired style, careful use of local materials, and breathtaking view make for an inspiring setting for workshops.
***

Guests must be comfortable carpooling from a meeting point in Makakilo to the remote location.
