 An annual mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

This month was held on December 3rd. (12:30~ 14:30~)

There are autumn leaves that burn bright red, while vermilion, orange and yellow-green, and the colors of late autumn woven by Nishiki.

The yellow leaves of Benibana Japanese snowbell on the flower terrace are also impressive.

deciduous tree drops leaves all at once during the winter and enters dormant, but "winter buds" grow at the tip of the branch to prepare for the coming spring.

Among the plants with red fruits that come to the eyes of this season, Hiiragimochi (Chinese Holly) is an evergreen Odaka tree of the family Mochinoki.

It is also distributed as a Christmas holly, but the original Christmas holly is a nearby folly. The Japanese holly is evergreen and has a beautiful contrast with the spherical red fruit that ripens in late autumn, and has long been regarded as a sacred tree, and is a classic Christmas decoration.

In addition, the Japanese holly is a different species in the family Mokusei. The shape of the leaves is similar, but in fact it ripens black-purple.

Only when flowers and colors are scarce, the evergreen coniferous tree, which is not usually noticeable, is relatively noticeable.

Even though it is evergreen, some species are brownish in winter, and the color of green is slightly different.

There are various shapes.

If you observe carefully, you will be inspired by your unique shape. 

The well-shaped "conifer" can be tailored to a Christmas tree.
