-Garden history and future-
A woman who was a full-time housewife begins looking for land in order to make her dream come true: “I want to build my own garden someday.” In 2003, he came across the site of a former concrete company’s quarry and began building a garden. No matter how much we dig, we hit the bedrock, and despite the mountains of rocks that appear, we continue to cultivate. For eight years, we have continued to create an original garden, incorporating the surrounding mountains as a borrowed landscape and making use of the cherry blossoms and cedars that were growing naturally.
After a long time, it finally opened in 2011. At a time when there was no concept of a “sustainable garden,” which we have heard about in recent years, there were times when people could not relate to the beauty of small wildflowers or dead hydrangeas and lilies. I worry about what kind of garden I want to create and what kind of garden I want, and I go through a process of trial and error. In addition, there was a year when 13 trees in the garden fell down due to a direct hit from a large typhoon, and another year when we experienced a record amount of snow, but each time we re-evaluated the plantings, replanted them, cultivated them, and changed their shape. went. Every day, we cherish our strong feelings and commitment that will never waver. In 2023, which marks the 20th anniversary of its opening, it recorded approximately 250,000 visitors annually. It has been selected as an official post-tour destination for the 20th World Rose Congress in Fukuyama to be held in 2025, and is attracting even more attention. One woman’s dream of creating a garden will continue.
