 Between Kachidokibashi and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, beautiful flowers are always blooming.

That's because the gentle sisters are doing watering and weeding early in the morning and taking care of them.

 If you look at the plate of the flowerbed to see what kind of people are taking care of you, you will find out what kind of people are taking care of you.

Volunteers of Akashi Elementary School, volunteers of Chuo-ku welfare center, and Satsuki-kai, Chuo-ku.

 Yellow flowers were blooming in the flowerbed opposite Semba on the Tokyo waterside line.

It's "Katabami." According to references, "Katabami" belongs to the family Fabaceae.

It is said that it is different from the legume family plants such as the similar "Shirotsumegusa (clover)" and "Akatsumegusa". It's the same three leaves.  I love the lovely feeling.

 Let's go on the terrace. The bricks on the wall are rough, but the surface is teratera.

According to the explanation board in the planting, it is named "metro brick".

 "The bricks on this sidewalk are compressed and firing from 100% ash incinerated sewage sludge.

It is a product that matches the recycling age." The technology to make use of garbage is amazingflair!

 October cherry blossoms are blooming on the sidewalk between St. Luke's Tower. 

It is a flower like light snow when there are few flowers. So far, spring is that much. Do you feel fast?
