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.]
