Description

Fall is a magical time at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, and this year it's more enchanting than ever! Starting FWBG invites you to immerse yourself in the tranquility and artistry of Koedama Forest by Nomad Studio. This miniature sculptural woodland is made up of more than 1,200 handcrafted kokedamas nested within an intricate metal framework.

Kokedama, a centuries-old Japanese form of bonsai, transforms spheres of moss, twine, and seedlings into stunning organic artworks. Spanning just 1,000 square feet in the Garden, Kokedama Forest will artfully display each kokedama ball in an intricate metal network within a tranquil micro-forest. Guests are encouraged to wander through this enchanting space, surrounded by levitating kokedamas that beautifully showcase the intimate relationship between soil and plants.

With Kokedama Forest, William E. Roberts and Laura Santín, founding partners of Nomad Studio, present a poetic materialization of the intimate relationship between soil and plants, an inspiring blend of nature and art. This beautiful display is also an important reminder that soil is one of the key habitats of the planet which is too often undervalued despite being indispensable.

And stay tuned for Lightscape, opening November 22, 2024.
