Planting flower seedlings with love

Cute flower pots were set up in over 10 locations along the roads, including in front of public facilities and shops in the town.

We filled the 43 planters and 10 round wooden barrel pots that had been prepared with fertilizer and soil, and then carefully and gently planted the flower seedlings that had been soaked in plenty of water.

The reliable and kind women from the Chamber of Commerce are planting the flowers!

The work progressed efficiently and steadily amidst friendly, lively conversation.
