Hi, there.

In our garden, mosses are turning green gradually. The greenest moss can be seen in early summer, which is lovely, but I enjoy the slightly brown moss in winter as well, as it has a lonely atmosphere. If you grow mosses in your garden, please be careful, as birds tear off the moss to look for insects around this season.

 

My Work at Office

I don’t work at a site very often, but I usually work at the office and do planning the next garden.

My job can be various things, from supporting staff members working at the site to having a meeting with customers. And the other day, I was working on sketching the garden plan for one of my customers.

Since I have never learned drawing in my life, it’s so straggling to make the sketches like this. Having said that, I also can’t create 3D perspectives on a computer, so drawing by hands is the only way to make a proposal document. I think this kind of material is one of the most important proposal materials for the customer to get an image of the garden.

Sometimes I need to do what I’m not good at, such as making a model as well as drawing a figure. But I like to work on this with the belief that it will eventually become one of my skills, just as our artisans hone their skills at the site. 

Even as I write this blog, I am thinking about the garden site in progress. I want to be able to fulfill my role and responsibilities properly so that staff members working at the site start their work smoothly and efficiently.
