A Park Promoting a Lifestyle with Flowers
Florante Miyazaki was originally constructed as the main venue for the 16th National Urban Greenery Fair Miyazaki. After the fair, it was renewed as a park to promote a lifestyle with flowers and disseminate the floral culture. We directed seasonal flower gardens, planned floral events, and supported their business development in which citizens participate as a leading role. The park operation system with citizens' participation in collaboration with local plants companies and mass media realized an excellent place and opportunities to disseminate floral culture.
