Flower-growers in Aichi Prefecture have started campaigning to bring the International Garden and Horticulture Exposition, better known as the Flower Expo, to Aichi by around 2020.
Under the plan, the prefectural government, flower-related organizations and the local business community will work in unison toward a successful expo bid, aiming to promote not only the local gardening and landscaping but also its tourism and environmental industries. Aichi hosted the World Expo in 2005.
It would be the second flower expo in the country, following the 1990 Osaka Flower Expo.
