Among the great cities of the world, Tokyo has the dubious distinction of having one of the lowest "green" ratios. However, from its very conception, the Roppongi Hills complex has sought to address this issue by seeking a balanced fusion of City and Nature, and effectively utilizing the existing landscape to create a beautiful site with a broad panorama of greenery and open sky. Established to carry on this mission, the ROPPONGI HILLS GARDENING CLUB aims at further promoting the harmonious coexistence of Nature and the City and making the heart of Tokyo a greener and gentler place to live through the magic of gardening. By planting flora uniquely native to Japan along the "Roppongi Sakura-zaka" path near the Roppongi Hills Residence, club members will share not only in the pleasure of cultivating flowering shrubs and plants and watching them reveal new beauty with the passing of every season, but also in the pride of providing the community with verdant space for rest and recreation. Also from many fun lessons and events offered by the club will germinate new friendships with fellow members as you explore the joys of gardening. ROPPONGI HILLS GARDENING CLUB is much more than a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with Nature. It is a proposal for new urban lifestyle founded on Green Communication. Anyone with an interest in gardening, regardless of experience, is welcome to join our club. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about membership or our activities.
A chance to rest and recover from dizzying pace of urban life. A moment to experience the passing of the seasons. A place where Nature abounds. ROPPONGI HILLS GARDENING CLUB was founded to answer all these wishes and more. With our own hands, we will create a green legacy for Roppongi.
