Hi, there.

“山茶花-sazanka-”(Camellia sasanqua) are almost frozen with cold. The deep pink color looks great with the white snow falling on it. It’s the time of year when “ふきのとう” (Japanese butterbur scape) begin to sprout out. And plants and trees are preparing for spring germination. 

 

Picturing the Time of Budding

We came here to stock up trees after a long time. We plan to construct a garden using assorted trees in early spring, so we checked them out beforehand. Most of the trees have no leaves now and looked a little sad, but we took a look, imagining how the branches and leaves will grow in spring.

Each tree has a different beauty, such as one has beautiful trunk lines and one has amazing flowers. So, our job is to find one right tree by thinking about both the architecture of the customer's current residence and the ideal garden they desire.

For fence trees, choose an evergreen tree or one that has many branches, and for a symbol, choose one that you can enjoy in all four seasons. As we choose each tree in this way, we, naturally, can picture the whole shape of a garden.

The construction hasn’t begun yet, but I’m so excited to see the spring garden landscape! It will be getting warmer, so I can’t wait for spring. We will be preparing to make the garden more beautiful.
