Before summer ended, we held a BBQ welcome party in the garden at Green Share Chofu +garden. Many residents moved in this summer, so it was a good chance for everyone to meet.
Rain had been forecast for days, but the sky stayed cloudy and the party went ahead. When the charcoal wouldn't light, residents stepped in to help. People played with water guns, shared a carved watermelon fruit bowl, and finished the night with Japanese hand-held sparklers, which were new to many of them.
With a garden on site, events like this are easy to hold right at home.
