„I got my first kokedama in 2010, it was a present.“

It looked like a baobab tree on the planet of the Little Prince. I had never seen anything like it before even though I love everything that is green or grows.

Only after some research I found out where my baobab comes from and I learn more about japanese kokedamas or “levitating plants” as they are sometimes called and absolutely fell for them. And that is how the idea of the String garden shop evolved. It´s a step away from of my original training and profession in landscape architecture but it is also not miles away from it…

I came up with my own way to create kokedamas and started to make them from usual house plants so they would be easy to care for unlike bonsais which are very demanding. In order to make functioning kokedamas that last for a long time, I prepare my own soil mixtures from quality Czech and Japanese soils which I use according to the species of the plant and its growth demands.

My dream of the String Garden shop became reality during the Spring of 2012 when i opened my atelier, showroom and shop in one space, in Školská street no. 7 in the city center of Prague. Come for an online visit!

Kokedama

Almost any plant can be used to create a kokedama, but I use mainly undemanding house plants for my shop which can be hung indoors all year long. Hanging kokedamas are an outstanding design decoration and interesting alternative to normal house plants. They are universal and harmonize with any interior style.

Aerarium and terrarium

Hanging aerariums and terrarariums are another original decoration that are made in my String Garden. Yes, as well as aquariums there are also aerariums, which comes from the Latin word ‘aer’ – ‘air’, because they hang in the air. All the glass you can find in my shop is designed by me and handmade by Czech glassmakers. I use different plants to create tiny environments in the glass.

Plants

We also offer different houseplants such as marimo moss ball, pilea peperomioides or sophora Little Baby as well as gardening accessories such as bird feeders and birdhouses, bug houses or rain chains.
