Garden plant market in Hamakita ~No,1~

I went to Garden plant market in Saturday morning at Hamakita.

Hamakita is located north side of Hamamatsu,

Here is popular as a planted garden plants from long time ago.

Many familiy works as a landscape gradener.

When I drive in Hamakita,

I can see lots of pine tree and podcoaps field in anywhere.

Hamakita has a market which is these gardener sell young plant to general people.

You know, our hobby is gardening, so,

we sometimes go this market for find beautiful and new plant. 

In coincidentally, last week's market was " Garden plant festival" which held once a year!

There are many people rather than normal market.

I will introduce about this festival in this week and next week.

At first, Let's walk around in market place with miko!

The best time to see,  this is Japanese andromeda. ↑

This one has a pink flower, but they have white one too.

Most of time,  we plant andromeda Japanese garden and temple.

Special ume tree and pine tree are grown up for only garden. ↑

It is important old texture ( Not new, it is like the texture spent time.)

in Japanese graden, Therefore the gardener design plants perfectly good for

Japanese garden. It is a superb balance.

On the other hand, this is " thicket style garden". ↑

Gardener plants the deciduous tree that

devided their branch from the base very natural style. Like you are in the real forest.

You can enjoy every seasons, and this is fit with western houses too.

It's looks casual technic to make this natural garden, but they pay attention into detail,

what kind of tree they choose, about form of the each branch and pattern of trnk.

This is Bonsai place. ↑

We buy half grown up bonsai, and then we grown them up perfect form.

I don't have any experience grow up Bonsai, it is became popular again among

the young people.

Bonsai is very popular in foreign country too.

However they are hardly understand the spiritual world when Japanese people face to bonsai,

I seems.

I will talk about Bonsai on next week more and more!

This is place for sell orange and other citrus fruits. ↑

His back is so cool!! I think he wears typical Japanese gardener uniform.

He sells pine tree for garden.

Eacn by each, grown up very carefully.

Maybe, He thinks every tree is like his child.↑

This is also pine tree.

But, it became less than before plant this tree at new house's garden in these days.

If we made a typical Japanese garedn, It is very hard to keep it perfect.

We have to order gardener every time. And it has to be high cost.

That's why, Bonsai became popular now in order to enjoy Japanese garden

 in minimum world.

There are many big stones. ↑

This is one of necessity factor for Japanese garden.

Old style Japanese garden uses these stones for express natural beauty.

The texture of stone is deffernt from depend on their home.

Gardener put the stone with trees in the garden like stones are there from hundred years ago.

If the gardener has talented to make garden, you can see "AJI" ( taste, feeling or texture)

in these stones which is they changed their form very slowly by rain and wind.

For the people who doesn't know Japanese garden......

This is very very famous garden, Kinkaku-ji. ↓↓↓

By the way, we bought few trees.

2 box trees made their form very round.

1 daphne which has white flower.

3 mystery roses plants.

Garden plant market has a green house, they sell a foliage plant.

I found mystery roses at here! ↓↓↓

Poulsen Roser A/S developed this rosese in Denmark.

The name is Long decorative roses. They blooms with long time.

I asked the stuff who works at here, one flower has been bloom during 2 months!!

Besides, this is strong species, it is hard to get sick, well bloomed.

I can't delieve it......But, I bought 3 plants.

This species is not known very well in Japan,

Maybe, is this popular in foreign country?
