In Shinrin park. Part 2. Herb garden

It was warm and we could feel the delicious smell of herbs growing in this garden.

I want to have this gazebo even though I don't own a garden...

 

Nice bunch of flowers on the table

 

Ehinacea pupurea, I used to drink it in my home country

My recent passion is lavender. I have some lavender goods at home

I liked to collect wild strawberry in a forest

This is the statue of Garden God. He is protecting the garden and Bon Bon dared to insult him by peeing under the statue! What a shame!

Dahlias

 

Time to leave the herb garden

Just a walk in the park

I don't know the name of this park. I can only say that Bon Bon enjoyed it.

In Shinrin park. Part 1. The kingdom of gnomes

This weekend Bon Bon had an excellent opportunity to enjoy a big green park Shinrin koen in Namegawa, Saitama prefecture.
In fact, they say that it is one of the biggest parks in Japan. We arrived there not long before closing time and didn't explore every spot. I hope next time we will see the rest of the park.

Those garden gnomes can be seen everywhere

A cute owl is welcoming us

Can you see the elephants?

What a nice happy owl family!

As you have already figured out, the dogs are allowed!

Another cute gnome

Nice pond

 

Mama, I'm so tired!

  First part of the Herb garden

I love those guys!

White American hydrangea and something interesting
