Waitomo Garden Renewal 2022 「ワイトモガーデン」の整備

 




辰野国際交流協会では毎年ほたる祭り開催に合わせて「ワイトモガーデン」の整備を行っています。
5日朝、7人の理事の手で草取り・草刈、剪定など行いました。
ホタル観賞の前に駐車場の南側の「ワイトモガーデン」を是非御覧ください。
日本ではなかなか見られない本物のマオリ・カービングです。

Every year, in alignment with the opening of Tatsuno Town's annual Firefly Festival, members of TIA come together to renew the Waitomo Garden.

On the morning of June 5th, seven members from the board of directors came together to mow the grass, pull weeds, prune bushes and trees, and so on. 

Before you enter the firefly viewing area, please come view the Waitomo Garden! It is located in the southern area of the parking lot. It's easy to find if you look for the Mauri carving, which is a rare sight in Japan!

 Since late last year, We have been preparing for a zoom conference between Tatsuno Junior High School students and Te-Kuiti elementary school students, which is scheduled to be held in March.



The impact of the coronavirus seems to be severe even in NZ, and in Te-Kuiti, heavy rains have caused damage such as river flooding and landslides, and the school seems to be different from the normal schedule.

Last month, after the summer vacation, the coordinator told us that they couldn't cooperate with the elementary school we had planned.




In order to meet the expectations of junior high school students who have been preparing, I asked some of my acquaintances to find some students who can talk with Japanese students , aged 10 to 15 years old, and I got good information. Arrived today.

I still have some uncertainties, but at least I think we can communicate with someone.


I would be happy if it was a good experience for junior high school students.
