NTT Docomo from February 28th has released “Minna No Engei Hiroba TM” (Everyone’s Gardening Plaza), a social network service for enjoying home gardening.
“Everyone’s Gardening Plaza” is a new SNS for gardening enthusiasts, who can record a daily cultivation log while raising plants, connect with peers, and share information. By entering the type of plant or the cultivation starting date, explanations about essential thinning, fertilizing, and other such tasks are sent by mail at appropriate times. In addition, you connect with other users raising the same plants and reference skillful gardeners’ methods, and since you can give each other advice when you run into trouble, beginner gardeners can tend their greenery in a carefree spirit.
Also, from April 1st (scheduled), a paid membership service will be implemented, for a monthly fee of 157 Yen (incl. tax), allowing users to receive cultivation advice from a horticultural specialist advisor.
