To improve stress management of teachers by promoting school greening projects, we conducted an online questionnaire survey targeting teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools in Tokyo. The survey aims to investigate the utilization and perception of the teachers towards school greening situation in their own working place. As a result, we found that greenery has been rarely set in indoor space, where teachers spent most of their time, while the most relevant school greening to the teachers is just “seeing the plants while walking”. About 60% of the teachers expected school greening to be promoted for the purpose of reducing teachers' stress. Increasing plants in indoor spaces, solving the problems of plants maintenance, and verifying and spreading the effects of school greening on teachers' stress are future issues.
