GREENING has acquired the Dreaming Place ROSE GARDEN in Kimitsu, Chiba, a 5,000-tsubo private garden with 500 rose varieties, 3,000 pesticide-free roses, and 10 resident cats. The company plans a rebranding, upgraded cafe and retail offerings, and a future general incorporated association to support animal protection using part of the garden's revenue.
The Dreaming Place ROSE GARDEN opened in 2010 after owners Setsue and Kozo Shimizu cleared the forested land themselves. The garden now holds 500 varieties of roses grown without pesticides, alongside 10 cats that live on the grounds as part of a rescue effort. GREENING, which operates restaurants and hotels under a vision of creating culturally significant landscapes, said it will keep the garden's existing name while updating its logo and strengthening the cafe and shop. The company also plans to establish a general incorporated association that directs a portion of sales toward animal protection, citing the garden's cat rescue work as inspiration.
