Every Kokodama is made by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This collaboration between nature and craftsmanship results in a planter that’s not only beautiful but also ethical. By embracing the coconut, a resource that is abundant in Sri Lanka, Kokodama contributes to a sustainable circular economy. It symbolizes a commitment to the environment, from the moment it's crafted to the time it returns to nature.
