Putting the flowers in the road is not permitted.

We think to preserve the flower pots because they are simply the last individual green such as garden and green roof which can be considered.

“ 区内の貴重な緑として、緑量にカウントしています。今後も保全すべき緑として考えていきます。

( ”ただい、あくまでも個人の庭や屋上緑化等の緑に対してです。 )

“A garden is the last luxury of our days, because it demands what has become most rare and precious in our society:

- time, consideration and space.“
