June 5, 2025 Today is the first day of the Barakura Flower Show\u270c\ufe0f There are classic British cars on display in front of the entrance. The admission fee is 2,000 yen, but I entered with an annual pass. I stopped by on my way home from Nakanojo Gardens. There are so many places I want to visit on this rare sunny day before the rainy season begins. \ud83d\ude0a It&#8217;s no exaggeration to say that I stopped by to see this symbolic tree&#8230; However, I want to make sure to see all of the show gardens and the container gardening art exhibition.\ud83d\ude0a There are 10 show gardens on display in the garden, and the first one won the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Award. The title is \u201cBuddies in Bloom&#8230; A Small Garden Promoting Wellbeing.\u201d The containers on the chairs are made from recycled tires. Next is \u201cGarden Wedding in BARAKURA.\u201d The next Cool Garden &#038; Herb Garden does not have a show garden on display, but let&#8217;s take a stroll as usual. Peonies are in bloom\ud83d\ude0a The symbol tree is visible\ud83d\ude0a The cicadas are chirping loudly again this year.\ud83d\ude05 Next is the rose garden. These are peonies, not roses. Because of the high altitude, the roses will start blooming in about two weeks. Rosa rugosa are in bloom. Alice in Wonderland garden. A refreshing breeze is blowing. \ud83d\ude0a Echinacea in the dappled sunlight. The sound of bagpipes can be heard. \ud83e\udd14 PLANTS AWARD (A competition where the finest ornamental plants from seed companies across Japan are gathered.) I thought it was only in the morning, but unexpectedly, bagpipe music began \ud83d\ude03 Now for the next show garden. \u201cParadise in the Garden\u201d This is \u201cForest Jewel Box.\u201d I was planning to walk around the garden clockwise, but the bagpipes caught my attention, so let&#8217;s go check them out. \ud83d\ude05 I&#8217;ve never seen a live bagpipe performance. I definitely want to see it before the performance ends. \ud83d\ude0a The person playing now has performed at numerous state events, such as the British royal baby parade and the king&#8217;s banquet. Mr. Steven Duffy I was moved by the live bagpipe performance, but I was also deeply impressed by the traditional costumes. \ud83d\ude03 I think this is a scene I will never forget until I die. \ud83c\udf3f Thank you very much. For some reason, the pavilion looks more beautiful than usual. I wonder if cicadas sing in spring in England too? \ud83e\udd14 This is the show garden. \u201cHepatica Paradise\u201d Next is the \u201cBird Path ~ Fusion of Japanese and Western Gardens,\u201d featuring driftwood. The Barakura English Garden is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. At first, the trees were so small that the owner was worried, but now they have grown into a beautiful forest. Applause \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f I love this forest. \ud83d\ude0a I&#8217;ve already walked along the bird path, so let&#8217;s go left. Earlier, I walked down this path to see a bagpipe performance, but now I&#8217;m going to see the show garden. I can see it coming into view. The title is \u201cEncounter.\u201d Huh?\ud83e\udd14 Let&#8217;s march to the music that has started again! It&#8217;s the show garden. The title is \u201cWelcome to the Forest Garden.\u201d The sun is shining nicely. \ud83d\ude0a \u201cWell BEEing Meadow Garden\u201d \u201cThe Gazebo of Fluttering Dreams\u201d The bagpipe performance has ended, and so has our tour of the garden. Finally, let&#8217;s take a look at the \u201cContainer Gardening Art Exhibition\u201d held in the courtyard with the symbolic tree. Congratulations to Barakura English Garden on its 35th anniversary! No. 1 won the British Embassy in Japan Award. The winners of each award have already been decided, but there is also a separate popularity contest for visitors. The golden acacia, which is also the symbol tree, won the Ichiro Award\u270c\ufe0f No. 9 won the Grand Prix. No. 16 won the British Embassy in Japan Award. The Union Jack and the Japanese flag. No. 32 won the Grand Prix. No. 52 won the British Embassy in Japan Award. That concludes the video. Thank you for watching the video until the end.
