About your hosts and space
Step into JOMO Studio, where the air is rich with the scent of greenery and the spirit of joy. Here, in our lush plant shop at 21A Bathurst Street, you'll find a sanctuary that invites you to leave the world behind and immerse yourself in the serenity of nature. This is not just a space; it's an experience – one that embodies the philosophy of finding happiness in the little things and embracing the joy of missing out on the everyday hustle.
But what makes JOMO Studio truly special are the people who breathe life into it – your hosts. They are not just plant enthusiasts; they are guardians of the green, curators of calm, and experts in the botanical realm. With years of experience tending to over 700 types of plants and having nurtured hundreds of thousands of them, our hosts possess a treasure trove of knowledge. Their hands have felt the soil, and their hearts have felt the joy that each plant brings. Their passion is palpable, and their dedication to spreading the joy of houseplants is what makes them not just hosts but guides on your botanical journey.
As you engage in the workshop, you’ll feel as though you are forest bathing within the city. The leaves whisper stories, the pots and tools feel like extensions of nature, and as you learn and create, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that is both tranquil and invigorating. Your hosts will be there, guiding you, sharing their wisdom, and celebrating the beauty of plants with you.
At JOMO Studio, you don't just attend a workshop; you become a part of a community that values the simple, natural wonders of life. It's here that you'll find your green sanctuary, and hosts who are eager to share it with you. Learn more about our story here.
What we’ll do
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! You’ll also get to choose the perfect planter from JOMO's exclusive collection of in-house 3D printed planters. These stylish and unique planters are designed with love and precision, ensuring that your plant not only thrives but does so in style.
One of the highlights of this workshop is the personalized guidance you’ll receive in matching the right plant to your environment. Our expert hosts will help you understand the specific needs of different plants and assist you in selecting the one that will thrive in the particular space you have in mind at home. This ensures not only the well-being of the plant but also adds a touch of nature that is harmonious with your living space.
With your green companion and exclusive planter in hand, the heart of the journey unfolds. Our expert guides will be with you every step of the way as you engage in the delicate art of repotting. Feel the connection with nature as you gently repot the plant into its new home, taking special care to keep the rootball intact.
Experience the joy of using our in-house premium potting soil, specially formulated to give your plant the nutrients it needs. And guess what? You’ll be wielding our mini gardening tool kits, which will aid you in the process and make you feel like a true botanist!
As the workshop progresses, our hosts will review the unique care requirements corresponding to the plant you've chosen. This invaluable knowledge will equip you with the confidence and skills needed to tend to your plant.
As you near the completion of this botanical endeavor, a duster is at your disposal to gracefully remove any soil or debris, giving your creation a polished look.
Before you leave, there will be a final review of the plant care to ensure that you are well-prepared to nurture your new green companion. Our hosts are dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to tend to your plant.
There, in front of you, is not just a potted houseplant, but a symbol of growth, learning, and the nurturing spirit you’ve cultivated through the Houseplant 101 Workshop.
