BUILDING COMMUNITY

Just like other living creatures, the way we live are inseparable from our environment. Recognizing the role of our physical environment and the importance it plays in our community, we fully believe in the power of integrating comfortable green spaces. The work of building strong community must include good design and creation of functioning ecology in which human and natural systems thrive together.


 

▶︎Building our very own garden from scratch

   
Shichigahama Minna no Ie Kizuna House, located in Miyagi Prefecture, was built as part of the reconstruction support after the earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2011. Starting from a place where there was not a single tree, we worked together with local residents to prepare the soil, plant vegetables, and create a garden with large trees, plants, and flowers that will become a symbolic tree. At the same time, they learned how to take care of the plants, such as pruning and watering them, and how to enjoy using them.


 

▶︎Harvesing from the garden and making bagels

   
A joints workshop was held together with AFFIDAMENTO BAGEL, a bagel specialty store located about a 10-minute walk from Green Wise. Participants picked berries and mint from Green Wise garden and baked bagels together for a bountiful snack!
