Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 258Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens Flower Field "Hana Ippai Project" - Making of Spring Flowerbeds November 11, 2017 NTT West Tokai Group

On November 11, 2017 (Saturday), the "Hana Ippai Project (Making of Spring Flowerbeds)" was held at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya City.

This flowerbed-making project is organized by Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens three times a year in spring, summer and autumn in cooperation with other corporations and groups to transform the botanical garden into a place that is full of flowers. Many NTT West Tokai Group employees and retirees have participated in the event with their family members since 2013, and a total of 227 participants took part this time.

It was uncertain whether the event could be held as it started raining in the late night just before the event. However, the sky cleared up by the early morning, and the weather was perfect for making flowerbeds.
Flowers that were planted this time are tulip and viola, which are the typical spring flowers. NTT West Tokai Group prepared a total of 7,000 bulbs and seedlings.

Before the planting activity, all the participants from NTT West Group took a commemorative photo with the flowerbeds as the backdrop.
This was followed by a briefing by the staff of the botanical garden on information such as the precautions to take. The participants were then divided into three groups and started working after moving to the flowerbed assigned to them with a shovel in their hand.

The first step was to arrange the viola seedling pots in a few rows and place them tentatively at an equal distance from each other, after which the seedlings were taken out from the pot carefully, while the shovel was used to dig a hole for planting the seedling. The children participants also engaged in the work earnestly together with the adults.
Next, the tulip bulbs were planted. To plant the bulbs in between the seedlings that were planted earlier, it was necessary to exercise care not to step on the seedlings. All the tasks were completed in about an hour's time.

The spring flowerbeds are expected to be in full blossom some time between mid March and mid April next spring, and we are looking forward to the arrival of spring when the entire flowerbed is filled with blossoms.

Blessed with fine weather at the "Hana Ippai Project" flower field in Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, flowers were successfully planted at the three rounds of activity.
The total number of participants for the entire year added up to almost 700, and we, the secretariat, would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the high level of interest in activities to protect the global environment.

NTT West Tokai Group will continue to take the initiative to engage in such activities so as to involve as many employees as possible in efforts toward conservation of the global environment.
