AboutAbout the lab
Creating comfortable spaces where people and nature are in harmony
The Floriculture and Green Space Planning Lab studies how to make spaces for human activity more comfortable through the power of nature and plants.
Its research falls broadly into two areas: floriculture and greening plant science, which deals with flowering plants and plants used for greening, and green space planning (landscape architecture), which deals with landscapes and parks.
The two faculty members hold the lab seminar jointly and supervise students together.
Those who are considering graduate school are asked to first consult the faculty member they hope to be supervised by.

ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to create comfortable spaces where people and nature are in harmony, the lab conducts research from two sides: floriculture and greening plants, and green space planning (landscape architecture). Its work covers a wide range, from the ecology and propagation of the plants themselves to landscape evaluation and the planning and management of parks.
