Discover an essential gesture of tree art: dressing a tree's roots before transplantation. Freely inspired by the Japanese kokedama, this workshop invites participants to prepare a young tree for its next journey.
At Gratte-Terre, "dressing the roots" refers to the practice of protecting a young tree's root system before transplantation. Wrapped in fabric, straw and moist growing medium, the roots are prepared for their journey while preserving their vitality.
During this workshop, participants learn this tree art technique developed at Gratte-Terre and perform the gesture themselves.
Combining horticultural know-how with artistic practice, the workshop invites participants to experience transplantation as an act of care and cooperation between humans and trees.
