About Us

The Modern Forest was founded on the idea of combining plants and art together. Both are my true passions in life and the blossom of my small business, The Modern Forest. 

My love for plants started with my mother, my childhood home filled with plants, cacti, orchids, and even produce of her own. Her love for plants was passed on to me and I myself started my own collection of plants in my tiny apartment. With each plant, I realized that plants themselves were something that you could transform into art that you can use to spruce up any area all while improving the air quality and mood.

With Kokedamas I was able to unify both my passions truly. So what is a Kokedama? Kokedama (Japanese for "moss ball") is the art of potting plants in a ball of moss and displaying them in a dish or suspended in the air. 

So whether you are intrigued with the world of kokedamas or simply starting or enhancing your modern forest, I invite you to grow with us and get inspired.

With love, 

The Modern Forest  

Partnership with One Tree Planted 

At The Modern Forest we believe in not only creating your modern forest but also helping forests around the world. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re partnering with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every kokedama sold.

Trees clean our air and water, create habitats for biodiversity, contribute to our health and wellbeing, and create jobs for social impact. We’re honored to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.
