Gardener Trip Story, From Kamisakabe West Park-Japan

I know, it’s too late to write this activity. But, whatever it takes, I must write about gardener activity or gardener trip from Kamisakabe West Park-Japan. Maybe you ask me “why”, I think it’s positive activity and maybe will inspire anyone or somebody to do the same thing. What is that “thing”??…The “thing” is how we save the world, learn about nature around us is that about nature again? Yeah…this article is about nature again

On December 14th 2014, my friend Ryo-san, who is volunteering at Kamisakabe West Park as gardener, gave me a message. Yeah…she told me about gardener trip on November 2014 month.  I was thinking to write it on following day. But, who knows, I got busy time on December month. I don’t have much time to write it soon. Now, I have my time again to write some kind an inspiring activity. This is it, Gardener Trip Story From Kamisakabe West Park!

This is an annual event that would be held on November 22sd 1014. My friend told me, this event was cancelled for two years because of the rain. So, what is the event actually??..It’s gardener business trip, yeah…every single gardener went to trip to the another park in the city. This time, they were travelled to the Motohama Green Track of Land. So, what are they doing in that park?? What is the relation between gardener trip and yearly event??…

This event is for children to enjoy nature.  “What do you mean to enjoy nature?”…Yeah…it’s a simple question that maybe you can ask me. And I will ask you, “what will you do to enjoy nature?”…Can you imagine it and answer my question?? So, if it’s me to answer that question, my answer is…”I’d love to grow plant to enjoy nature”.  Yeah…I will grow some plant or flower at my house, even if I don’t have garden. Really?? Are you serious??…Yeah, I will do it, and that’s what I have done, created my own garden. So, this event too that sponsored by gardener from Kamisakabe West Park They were inviting children to grow tree. Yeah…planting trees are one of the many way to save the world, right??…So, this is a positive activity, right?? It’s one of the activities to enjoy nature.

 

There are few children in the morning, ‘cause any performance (culture festival and concert) in their elementary school. But in the afternoon, many children came, came, and came…When I saw these pictures for the first time, I guess they were so excited to come in this event.

What activities they were doing at the time?? As you can see on these pictures, many children were climbing on the tree, right. Wow! I think it was fun, and I guess many children loves to climb the tree, because I love to climb the tree when I was kid too For this time, when a kid would climb a tree, they must to wear safety belt. Because it’s too dangerous for kid if they don’t wear a safety belt.  Beside, these children were challenged to arrangement freshly plant on the flower pot. Oh, that’s very interesting things to do. So they would to know how to grow plant on a pot.

One things is very interesting (I think ), the goat have shown up on this event. Oh my….is it a real goat??…Yes it is! that’s a real goat, that brought from a zoo. Wow, I can imagine these kids was happy. I believed, many children like animal, including a goat They could feed this goat, or maybe touched it in a direct way, feel the skin of goat or goat fur. And surprise….maybe this goat would be licking your hand Don’t worry Ryo-san, when it’s licked your finger, it means they like you

It’s very interesting and positive activity, right??…To share with many children how to enjoy nature. I believe, by event like this one, gardener trip in another park, it would bring so much benefit. What is it?? What kind of benefit??…Every single gardener trip will always share many things about nature. Like this one, they invited children to enjoy nature, was planting a plant to know how to grow plant and flower, feel the nature by climbing the tree, and feel another nature by animal (a goat). It’s all about to introduce nature to the children at an early age. So they will grow such a nice and kind people who care the nature around them. There is a hope for better world
