  1. 01Let's Grow Vegetables on Our Rooftop

    Good evening, neighbors. Our apartment building has a large rooftop that nobody uses. I'd like to suggest that we turn it into a shared vegetable garden.

    近所の皆さん、こんばんは。私たちのマンションには、だれも使っていない広い屋上があります。そこを、みんなの家庭菜園にすることを提案したいと思います。

  2. 02The Idea

    The idea is simple. We could put ten planter boxes on the roof and grow easy vegetables, like tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce.

    アイデアは単純です。屋上にプランターを10個置いて、トマトやハーブ、レタスのような、育てやすい野菜を作ればいいのです。

  3. 03Why It's a Good Idea

    There are three good reasons. We'd have fresh vegetables, we'd get to know each other, and the roof would become a pleasant green space to relax.

    良い理由が三つあります。新鮮な野菜が手に入り、お互いに知り合いになれて、屋上がくつろげる気持ちのいい緑の場所になります。

  4. 04The Cost

    Of course, it isn't free. We'd need boxes, soil, and seeds. If the families who join share the cost, it should only be a small amount each.

    もちろん、ただではありません。プランターと土と種が必要です。参加する家族で費用を分ければ、一家族あたりは少しの額で済むはずです。

  5. 05Who Does the Work?

    To keep it fair, we'd make a simple watering schedule. Each family would take care of the garden for one week at a time.

    公平にするために、簡単な水やりの当番表を作ります。一家族が1週間ずつ、菜園の世話をします。

  6. 06Next Steps

    If you like this idea, my next step is to ask the building owner for permission. I'll also leave a sign-up list by the mailboxes.

    このアイデアが気に入ったら、次はマンションの持ち主に許可をもらいに行きます。郵便受けのそばに、申し込みのリストも置いておきます。

  7. 07Conclusion

    To sum up, a rooftop garden would give us fresh food and a friendlier building. Please add your name to the list this week. Thank you.

    まとめると、屋上の菜園があれば、新鮮な食べ物と、もっと親しみのあるマンションが手に入ります。今週、リストに名前を書いてください。ありがとうございました。
