　I had Tuesday, February 7 come toward the flower shop and performed flower arrangement targeting at the age head. This participated in the plan that there was of the request as a garden through Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Board of Education.

　When what kind of thing would begin now, it was interested and, only with a rose, a carnation, the imminent flower of the children including the babies'-breath, heard a story. I used the scissors well and cut the rose to the length of the long straw, the length of the straw that the carnation was short and let the oasis do by one. By the last finish, I arrange a leaf and a babies'-breath between a flower and flowers and am the completion. Various, but looked satisfied with which child on seeing a finished flower with the child who struggled desperately without a friend and the child who did it while talking, a child, a flower to concentrate on it in silence, and to arrange readily sticking in the oasis. I did not borrow the help of adult and could grow by almost own power and was impressed by the good point of the sense of children. The impression "that I gave water and was going to value" that "it was difficult to put a babies'-breath between flowers" that "it was easily possible than I thought" that "it was pleasant to cut it, and to shine" appeared from children.

　I come to love flowers and, through this experience, am asked about the voice to want to present a flower by somebody and think that the consciousness for the flower might not have changed.
