Auntie Mee's Tea Time

Have a cup of tea over my story.

57. Medical Herb Garden

We are having warm and beautiful autumn days.

Sightseeing spots in Tokyo and the vicinities are stuffed with people especially on weekends.

Today, I went to Medical Herb Garden in Hanno, Saitama prefecture.

[Crimson colored maple leaves welcome us at the entrance.]

The garden is run by Tree of life, a herb shop in Japan and a friend of mine works there.

The garden is not so large but has a lot of medical herbs, which drew my interest.

 

We have fewer flowers in late autumn than spring or early summer, still this garden has a lot of flowers now.

There were few people in the garden so I can take a rest on the benches surrounded by aromatic plants.

[Chinese quince had fruits, which alleviate sore throat.]

 

At the shop I got some herb plants as well as honeys and teas.

[Those plans are available only at this shop.]
