ドイツのエッセンで毎年開かれるIPM。花き園芸を中心に、花器やデザインの大会等とても盛りだくさんな内容で、ヨーロッパに限らず、世界中から多くの人々が駆けつける展示会です。今年も多くの人々でにぎわい，各自でメモを取ったり商談を進める姿が会場のあちこちで見られました。花仲間のKさんの案内で会場を回るものの、会場はとても広く、一歩足を進めるたびに新鮮なアイディアやデザインが目に飛び込んできました。また，新しい出会いや再会もあり、‘またがんばっていこう！’と改めて思った有意義な一日。後ろ髪を引かれる想いで帰途につきました。Kさん、本当に御世話になりました。無事に帰られましたか？
IPM is an annual exhibition held in Essen, Germany. The core theme is a horticulture matter, however, there is a florist competition and show for sundries. It is beyond a gardening show. People visit this even not only from within Europe, but from all overthe world. People are taking mamo to jot down the design ideas, making some business talk on the satnd with big smiles on their faces... My colleague, K, kindly showed me around the show, but itwas full of great techniques and fresh approaches to floristry. There were some chances to meet up new people, and to catch up some familiar faces, too! All the experience yet again gave me so much power to 'keep going on', and left the venue feeling like staying there a bit more. K, thank you ever so much for your kindness and hospitality. I really enjoyed the show! Did you get home safely?
