Gooday Donates ¥1.6 Million Worth of Flower Seedlings to Public Facilities in Fukuoka City

Gooday Co., Ltd., operator of 67 'Gooday' home centers across Northern Kyushu and Yamaguchi, announced a donation of ¥1.6 million worth of flower seedlings and low shrubs to Fukuoka City. This contribution is part of the company's support for the city's 'One Person, One Flower' initiative and follows the successful completion of their 'Aim for 1.6 Million Plants! One Person, One Flower Campaign' in February 2026.

The donation, corresponding to Fukuoka's population of approximately 1.6 million, aims to enhance the cityscape and promote community engagement through gardening. The seedlings will be planted at public facilities such as ward offices within Fukuoka City, with locations to be determined in consultation with city officials. Planting is scheduled to begin sequentially from the 2026 fiscal year (after the Golden Week holidays).

In addition to providing the plants, Gooday will offer advice on cultivation, while the respective facility managers will oversee maintenance. The company hopes this effort will not only beautify public spaces but also boost the city's appeal.

Donation Overview: - Contents: Flower seedlings and shrubs, selected based on season and location. - Total Value: Up to ¥1.6 million. - Location: Public facilities (e.g., ward offices) in Fukuoka City. - Planting Period: Starting from the 2026 fiscal year (after Golden Week).
