Tumbling Garden Spring Festival Event Report!

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, the "Tsumugi no Niwa Spring Festival" was held at "Tsumugi no Niwa" in front of Tsukuba Medical Center Hospital. The weather was fine on the day, and many people came, including local residents and families.
This event was held to showcase the benches, pergolas, and other improvements made through the "Tsumugi Garden Renovation Project" implemented in 2024. Thanks to everyone's warm support, we were able to renovate the aging wooden benches and pergolas, improve the paved areas, and prune the garden trees, creating a safer and more comfortable space. On the day of the event, we hope that visitors would be able to see these renovated areas in person and appreciate the charm of the garden.
On the day of the event, we have prepared a variety of activities that everyone from children to adults can enjoy!
In the "Herb Arrangement" workshop, children enjoyed creating arrangements using herbs that can be enjoyed in cooking or as tea. In the art workshop, they challenged themselves to make pop-up cards, resulting in a variety of colorful works of art born from the children's free imaginations.
The stage program will include a hula dance class (hula halau). Pikake TernumaA hula dance show was held by [name of performer]. The colorful costumes and graceful dances created a tropical atmosphere in the spring garden. A mini jazz concert was also held, allowing guests to enjoy music in the open space of the garden.
As part of our "April Dream" project, we had a corner where children could write their dreams on cherry blossom-themed cards and display them. The children worked hard to write down their dreams, and they will be displayed in the hospital at a later date.
　Your donations are a great source of support for the operation of "Tsumugi no Niwa" (The Spinning Garden), enabling us to continue the daily maintenance and environmental improvements of the garden. We are grateful for your understanding and continued support of "Tsumugi no Niwa," and for the generous donations we received at this event. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude. Thank you very much.

　Through this event, we not only raised awareness of "Tsumugi no Niwa" (The Garden of Spinning), but we also received feedback such as "I felt closer to the hospital," "Visiting this place brings peace to my heart," and "It's always nice to see beautiful flowers in bloom," which reaffirmed our belief that it is a beloved place of relaxation and comfort for the local community.
Going forward, our organization will continue to do its utmost to ensure that "Tsumugi no Niwa" (The Garden of Weaving) remains a place of peace and relaxation for patients using the hospital, their families, and everyone in the community.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who attended and to all those involved who cooperated in the planning and operation of this event.

A special spring day that both children and adults can enjoy

The "Spinning Garden Spring Festival" will be held on Saturday, March 14th!
In 2024, the "Spinning Garden Renovation Project (Donations)" was carried out, and thanks to the generous support of everyone, the garden was reborn as a safer and more comfortable space by repairing the pergola wood and benches, improving the floor, and pruning the trees. This event is being held to unveil the garden and express our gratitude.
Why not spend some relaxing time in the new "Spinning Garden" in the soft spring sunshine? On the day, there will be participatory events such as herb planting, an art workshop that parents and children can enjoy together, and a Rogaining experience where you can tour the area around the hospital with a map in hand. There will also be a corner that is popular with children, where you can try out radio-controlled doctor's cars and DMAT cars.
There will also be a hula dance performance and a mini jazz concert, bringing the "Spinning Garden" to life with beautiful music and smiles. Please come and enjoy a relaxing time with your family and friends.
There will also be an "April Dream" event where people can write their dreams on cherry blossom cards, and a donation thank you corner with small items made with flowers from the Spinning Garden.
