📍 Location: Friendship Park Conservatory

Join the Chicago Aquatic Plant Society (CAPS) for a hands-on Wabi Kusa Workshop, where you’ll learn how to craft your very own Wabi Kusa—a stunning, self-sustaining aquatic plant arrangement inspired by Japanese nature design.

What is Wabi Kusa?
Wabi Kusa is a unique aquascaping technique that involves growing aquatic plants in a specialized substrate ball, allowing them to thrive both above and below the waterline. It creates a beautiful, low-maintenance living artwork that can be displayed in a shallow dish or aquarium, bringing a touch of natural elegance to any space.

🌱 Step-by-step guidance on shaping a substrate ball, selecting the right plants, and arranging them for optimal growth.
🌱 Tips on long-term care and maintenance for a thriving Wabi Kusa at home.
🌱 All materials provided, including substrate and live aquatic plants.  You can bring your own dish for display if you have one.
