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

Gooday Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; President: Takashi Yanase), operator of 67 "Gooday" home centers across Northern Kyushu and Yamaguchi, will donate flower seedlings and shrubs worth 1.6 million yen to Fukuoka City. This action follows the 'Aim for 1.6 Million Plants! One Flower Per Person Campaign,' which launched in November 2025 and achieved its sales target in February 2026, supporting the "One Flower Per Person" movement promoted by Fukuoka City.

This donation commemorates the approximately 1.6 million residents of Fukuoka City. By providing flower seedlings, Gooday contributes to the "One Flower Per Person" movement, which fosters a city rich in flowers and greenery through collaboration among citizens, businesses, and local government.

The seedlings will be planted at public facilities within Fukuoka City, such as ward offices, with specific locations to be determined in consultation with the city. Planting is scheduled to begin sequentially from fiscal year 2026 (after Golden Week).

In addition to providing the seedlings, Gooday plans to offer advice on planting techniques. Maintenance will be handled by the managers of each facility.

The presence of flowers can generate foot traffic and beautifully color public spaces, thereby enhancing the city's appeal. As a locally-rooted company, Gooday will continue to collaborate with Fukuoka City to promote the "One Flower Per Person" movement.
