R0033803RRSG.JPGR0033818LLS.jpg June 6 is the "Takumi" of twenty-four season old calendar. This refers to the time when the sun's sutra reaches 75 degrees, and refers to the season when sowing seeds of ears such as grains with awns and rice and wheat.

The annual "Mini Garden Guide Tour" takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers / Water / Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

The theme this time, held on June 4th, is "The garden with herbs."

Various herbs are planted around the "Flower Terrace", "Green Terrace", and "Slope Garden" along the Asashio Canal.

*Herbs are generally useful plants that are used for scenting dishes, preservatives, fragrances, dyes, insect repellents, odor repellents, etc., and have various medicinal effects as medicinal herbs, but originally It is also a broad concept that represents grass or herbal plants. However, there are some harmful substances that are highly medicinal and have side effects, so care must be taken. Seeds, fruits, roots, bark, etc. are often referred to as spices in similar useful plants.

*In a bite, the fragrance of herbs is broad, including citrus, floral, exotic, resin, spice, and tree.

*Lavender is one of the most popular garden items among herbs.
