🌿 What is Greenery Day?

Greenery Day is a Japanese holiday that encourages people to appreciate nature and the environment. Originally celebrated on April 29, it was later moved to May 4 as part of Japan’s Golden Week. However, it still holds a special place on April 29 for many who cherish the earth’s natural wonders.

The day is dedicated to the idea that nature’s beauty—whether it’s a quiet forest or a blooming garden—has the power to bring peace, joy, and a sense of well-being to our lives. It's a reminder that spending time outdoors not only boosts your mood but also helps the environment by promoting eco-awareness.
