Secret Garden
Starting from Shintoku Station,
if you head toward Shintoku Hireya,
you come upon a lovely garden.
This is a private residence,
but the owners said, “We want not only the people of Shintoku but many others to come and see it,”
so I paid a visit.
The garden is full of the owner’s love for flowers, affection for Shintoku, and memories of a loved one.
However, a while ago some rose saplings were dug up and stolen, which was very sad.
They may have been plants tended with great care, and above all they may have held deep sentiment.
I don’t think anyone who reads this post and comes by would do anything hurtful,
but since this is a private home, please view the garden respectfully.
If the owner or the gardener is working in the yard,
say hello and they may show you their lovely inner garden.
If no one is there, please enjoy looking into the inner garden from the outside.
If the owner is present, they might tell you the origins of the flower names or share stories about them.💁♀️
I hope that when you visit, you’ll get to meet the owner!
