- Honda proposes a Scandinavian garden style with Honda products -
TOKYO, Mar 13, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Honda announced that it will be proposing a Scandinavian garden style, with exhibitions including gas-powered tillers decorated with illustrations of roses, and its new open sports "mini-vehicle," at the 17th International Roses and Gardening Show (Tuesday, May 12 through Sunday, May 17, 2015, at the Seibu Prince Dome - formerly known as the Seibu Dome - in Tokorozawa city, Saitama).
Honda has supported "Co-existence with Nature," the theme of the International Roses and Gardening Show, Japan's largest gardening exhibition, participating in the event 10 times in the past, proposing a natural outdoor life with Honda's power products, such as mini tillers and portable generators ideal for vegetable gardens and gardening in general.
At this year's show, Honda's "Rose & Potager(1)" home garden arrangement theme will be on display with a Scandinavian garden style. The Honda booth, titled "A Hygge(2) treat for a Special Day in their favorite Garden," will portray a white pearl garden of a married couple celebrating their Pearl Wedding anniversary(3) with uniquely painted and decaled Honda products.
The Honda products on display, such as a new open sports "mini-vehicle" and motorcycles which add fun to various lifestyles, and tillers, lawnmowers and generators supporting gardening work, will be decorated with illustrations and paintings of roses.
The Denmark-style display house and garden will be constructed by "Hello Woods," Honda's nature experience center at Twin Ring Motegi in Tochigi. The house and gardening scene interior / exterior will be colored in chalk paint by Annie Sloan Japan by DCT INC. The garden will be planted with popular, strong and easy-to-grow roses by rose-creator Takunori Kimura, and decorated with pearl-color themed flowers by Yosuke Katayama (shokubutsu freak). Decorative gardening will be arranged by gardening counselor Michiko Okai, a housewife gardener popular for her gardening ideas suitable for daily life, to complete the display portraying a rich and stylish garden-life with Honda products.
