CANVAS [Report] Saturday, April 22: “Let’s Explore the Spring Garden—Take a Stroll Through Ark’s Garden While Playing a Bingo Game That Engages All Five Senses”
From
a CANVAS Facebook post*******************************************
On Saturday, April 22, we held the event “Let’s Explore the Spring Garden: Take a Stroll Through Ark’s Garden While Playing Bingo Using All Five Senses.”
The First GREENWORKSHOP of the 2023 Fiscal Year!
With many participants attending for the first time, we held a bingo game that took place as we toured Ark’s three gardens.
The first garden is the Main Garden. The garden used for everyone’s workshops is also located here.
The next garden is the Four Seasons Garden. I heard it features plants that have been in Japan for a long time. There was a wooden walkway there, too.
The last garden is the rooftop garden. Since it's located above the concert hall, please be quiet.
In addition to plants, we also encountered other living creatures, such as beehives and bird nests.
The plants and creatures you discovered during the workshop might reveal a different side of themselves if you observe them a little while later (and you might even spot some creatures you missed the first time!).
I would be delighted if, over the course of a year, we could experience the various changes in Ark’s natural environment together.
The next GREENWORKSHOP will be held on Saturday, May 27, titled “Let’s Plant Some Seeds: Growing Plants in Ark’s Garden and at Home.” We hope you’ll join us!
