WABARA is a rose that has a gentle expression and supple strength, which is not found in the gorgeous roses produced in Europe and America. In 12 episodes, we will introduce the charm of WABARA, which is grown with care at Rose Farm Cage, a rose farm in Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture, and Rose Farm Cage's efforts to coexist with nature.

You can't help but look up at Lake Biwa, the mountains beyond it, and the vastness of the sky. Rose Farm Cage is located on land that enjoys the blessings of nature nurtured by Lake Biwa.

However, Kenichi says that is not necessarily the best place for roses. Its proximity to Lake Biwa means that it is located at the final point of the river that flows into Lake Biwa. River water also contains organic matter, and depending on the time of year it can become quite polluted. In winter, there are many cloudy days and occasional snow. However, I decided to make roses here.

Compost such as chips and cow dung is poured in to revitalize the soil by increasing the type and amount of microorganisms. Following the natural cycle of spring water, the water drawn from the river is filtered with microorganisms, and the water is used for cultivation while working to mineralize it. Their idea of ​​agriculture is to revitalize soil and water and become a part of nature.

Through this initiative, we hope to improve the quality of both soil and water and return it to Lake Biwa. I believe that this is the meaning of farming in Moriyama, Shiga.

Rose Farm Cage is surrounded by mountains and a night sky that looks like falling stars. Although there is nothing there, this is a land where gentle and good-natured roses grow. We must not forget that the activities of this farm are part of the ecosystem of Mother Lake/Lake Biwa. We will always base ourselves on that and send out messages from Moriyama, Shiga.
