29.Awards for Izumi Ward Protection Association and others

　This year's awards were given to Izumi Ward Protection Association and others. This award honors the achievements of those who have contributed to environmental beautification and revitalization of local communities for many years by the Park Protection Association, Waterfront Protection Association, and Hama Road Supporters. This time, we handed a certificate of commendation with gratitude to 17 people.
　In addition, this year, as a new attempt, a workshop on planting was held after the award ceremony as a new attempt, with the meaning of fostering momentum for "GREEN x EXPO 2027". At the workshop, as a lecturer, points to note for growing flowers, such as points when planting to Kaohide Mochida of Flower Mochida Garden, which produces flowers in Kamiiida-cho, and points to note for growing flowers, such as soil selection and water methods. We had you lecture. I also participated and learned about the joy of planting, which was a very good experience.
　I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who have been awarded this time, as well as those who have been active in protection associations. We look forward to your continued support and cooperation in maintaining the rich water and greenery of Izumi Ward and revitalizing local communities.
