Many vegetables and fruits have beautiful flowers. Some are tall, some are short, some have ground-hugging vines, some have climbing vines, and some have beautiful fruits, and their shapes and characteristics make them suitable as ornamental plants in the garden.

This garden is made by collecting such plants.

"Herb Garden" with various herbs

This garden is a collection of herbs such as lavender and rosemary that are used for cooking and luxury items. Herbs are used in various situations such as tea, esthetics, and medicine, and the flowers are beautiful, so you can enjoy the flowers as well as the scent.

"Meadow" means pasture. Here, a beautiful pasture is recreated, and the plants that have been known in Japan since ancient times are the main ones, and it is structured like a nostalgic countryside riverside.

On the day we visited, water lilies were blooming on the surface of the water. Water lilies bloom at different times depending on the variety, but you can enjoy the flowers for a long time from May to October.

"Soil heating flower garden" using the power of a thermal power plant

Bluebonnet

A somewhat unusual method of cultivation is a soil-heated flower garden. The adjacent New Nagoya Thermal Power Plant produces a large amount of hot wastewater every day. To make effective use of this heat, pipes are installed in the soil. Hot water made from the heat of the hot wastewater is poured into the soil to keep it warm during the winter.

By doing so, they can adjust the flowering of plants and flowers even in cold early spring, lengthening the season and increasing the number of flowers.

A model garden by a top garden designer

Bluebonnet

One of the attractions of Bluebonnet is its model gardens, which are fascinatingly designed by top garden designers.

You can see traditional and colorful English gardens created by top British garden designers Robin Williams and John Brooks, and a Texas garden designed by Darrell Morrison, a leading American environmental designer!

Japan-Texas Friendship Garden

Japan-Texas Friendship Garden

Bluebonnet

The Japan-Texas Friendship Garden by Darrell Morrison. Plants that have been used for gardening in both Texas and Japan since ancient times are planted to express friendship.


Incorporating the image of Japanese people who value harmony (wa) and that everyone who loves things and the garden gathers together as a group, the path is designed to draw a circle throughout the garden. In addition, while incorporating the “Fortress of the Alamo” in the background, the design is based on a new idea so that the image of Texas can be imagined.

For couples, we recommend the “Flower Ring,” where countless flowers bloom around the ring. Anyone can ring the bell.

The sea spreads out in front of you, so it might be a good idea to spend some time relaxing while gazing at the sea.

Wildflowers bloom all over
"Wildflower Village"

Bluebonnet

One of the most impressive features of Bluebonnet is the "Wild Flower Village." In this "natural flower garden," wildflowers (a general term for wild flowers that grow wild in various natural environments) are in full bloom, which is different from the orderly flowers that bloom in flowerbeds.

Since 20 to 40 kinds of seeds are mixed and sown at once, you can enjoy the "blooming relay" in which wild and beautiful flowers change one after another in spring and autumn.

Just walking through the wildflower village will give you the illusion that you have wandered into another world. When we visited, the pink and red corn poppies were just blooming. The sight of the thin petals swaying in the wind was so cute that I felt like I could stare at it forever.
