User's Testimonials

Yasuko Suzuki(Horticulture school lecturer and garden designer)

“As part of the class, I use the Garden on rooftop of Surugadai Building to grow flowers, plants, herbs and vegetables. With good sunlight and air ventilation, this spot makes it ideal for plants.”

The idea is to do a recycle-oriented gardening.
