A centuries-old Japanese gardening art known as Kokedama which grows out of a moss-covered ball of soil has caused a modern-day buzz on social media.
Kokeball, which runs Kokedama workshops for plant enthusiasts, claims workshop space provider Space 4 Us has allegedly been conducting and undercutting similar workshops under a new name after attending and learning from their classes.

On Monday (March 1), Kokeball took to Instagram to announce terminating their informal partnership with Space 4 Us.
This post, which has since gone viral, highlighted their arrangement of conducting weekly workshops in exchange for a discount Space 4 Us staff would sit in and learn Kokedama techniques when workshop slots could not be sold.
