Gooday Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka; President: Takashi Yanase), which operates 67 "Gooday" home centers in Northern Kyushu and Yamaguchi, will donate flower seedlings and shrubs worth 1.6 million yen to Fukuoka City. This donation is part of an initiative to support the "One Person, One Flower" movement promoted by the city. The donation follows the success of the 'Aim for 1.6 Million Plants! One Person, One Flower Campaign,' which ran from November 2025 and achieved its sales target of 1.6 million plants in February 2026.
This donation is made in reference to Fukuoka City's population of approximately 1.6 million people. Through the provision of flower seedlings, the company aims to contribute to the promotion of the "One Person, One Flower" movement, which advances the creation of a town full of flowers and greenery through collaboration between citizens, businesses, and the administration.
The donation is planned for public facilities within Fukuoka City (such as ward offices), and the locations will be determined in consultation with the city. Planting is scheduled to begin sequentially in fiscal year 2026 (after Golden Week).
In addition to providing the flower seedlings, Gooday also plans to cooperate by offering advice on planting. Maintenance will be carried out by the managers of each facility.
The flow of people created by flowers and the gentle coloring of public spaces also leads to an improvement in the city's appeal.
As a locally-rooted company, we will continue to contribute to the promotion of the "One Person, One Flower" movement in collaboration with Fukuoka City.
Donation Overview - Donation Content: Flower seedlings and shrubs (to be decided based on timing and location) - Total Donation Value: Up to 1.6 million yen - Donation Locations: Public facilities in Fukuoka City (ward offices, etc.) - Planting Period: Fiscal Year 2026 (from Golden Week onwards)
The donation locations are slated to be public spaces used by many citizens, such as Fukuoka City's ward offices, and will be announced as they are decided.
This initiative aims to go beyond a one-time donation, aiming to develop into continuous flowerbed management and community activities in collaboration with facility managers and volunteer groups.
