Gorgeous wild thyme (moss phlox) in Masako Takahashi's garden

Friday, June 21, 2024

A carpet of crimson-purple flowers spreads across the garden...

Ground cover plants bloom magnificently, covering the entire garden floor.

Wild thyme is a lovely flower that Masako Takahashi from Wachi Ward has been carefully cultivating for the past 20 years!

Wild thyme, also known as "mother thyme," is a wild, energetic herb with a refreshing scent.

The entire spacious garden has been designed to be as fun as a theme park, with each area having its own story!

The trees scattered throughout the garden have been trimmed into various shapes, such as turtles and sailing ships, creating beautiful topiaries.
