Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 285Participation in the "12th Flower Planting Event" of the "12th Tokushima Downtown Flower Road Project" - Organized by: NPO "Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai (Association to Preserve Shinmachi River)" May 19, 2018 NTT West Tokushima Group

As part of the Midori Ippai Project efforts, NTT West Tokushima Group took part in the "12th Flower Planting Event" on May 19, 2018 (Saturday) under the "Tokushima Downtown Flower Road Project" organized by the NPO "Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai (Association to Preserve Shinmachi River)."

Launched in November 2014 and held three times a year (May, September and December), this is an activity to plant flowers at the planting zones and flowerbeds along the roads in the downtown area of Tokushima City.

The event was held on a weekend, but nonetheless a total of more than 250 people, including 64 from NTT West Tokushima Group as well as volunteer groups formed by NPOs, local neighborhood associations, co-sponsors, university students and residents from the neighboring districts of Tokushima City, took part in the activity.

After everyone gathered at Aibahama Park at 8 a.m., the opening ceremony kicked off with greeting from the Vice Mayor of Tokushima City, who talked about activities to raise and spread awareness toward enhancing the urban environment and promoting a green environment.

This was followed by a speech from Mr. Nakamura, Chairman of NPO Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai, who said that this activity to gather volunteers stemmed from the desire to offer a pleasant experience to visitors to as well as residents of the city and to transform Tokushima City into a city of flowers through the planting activities of the participants. He also expressed the hope to involve as many residents as possible in this effort.

At the end of the opening ceremony, the participants were divided into seven groups, and each group was assigned to the flowerbeds and planting zones at one of the designated locations, which extended from the front of Tokushima Station to Awaodori Kaikan, and from the front of Awagin Hall to the City Government Office. Participants from NTT West Tokushima Group were split into two groups and engaged in the planting work at 10 flowerbeds located along the entire Motomachi road divider as well as the planting zone on the Shinmachibashi road divider.

In conjunction with the adoption of Tokushima's traditional color, indigo (Japan Blue), for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games emblem, we have planted 4,500 indigo (dyer's knotweed) as well as 20,500 petunia plants in this round of activity.

The planting activity for the day ended with a commemorative photo-taking session for all the Tokushima Group participants at Aibahama Park, the meeting point for the event.

Also, participants who have engaged in the planting work since morning were treated to a bowl of hot udon noodles at the Hyotan Island Cruise Terminal at Ryokokubashi that is operated by Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai.

NTT West Tokushima Group will continue to engage in this planting activity to help raise the awareness toward the importance of greenery and create more opportunities for cultivating a sense of attachment for the flowers and greenery in the city.
