About Kumamoto Ueki City

First, please refer to this official website.

I only learned about it after reading the overview, but it has been going on for over 400 years!
I personally had little interest in plants, but from a history perspective, I am very interested.

Ueki City's opening and sales situation

We arrived after 10am and the parking lot was already full.
Anyway, it was cold today. It was just a light cloudy day, and if it was sunny I could have gone for a longer period

Lots of planters, flower shops, seedlings, and more

It was cold so I headed straight to the greenhouse exhibition hall.
It's interesting to see people roaming
while eating roasted sweet potatoes There were many seedlings I had never seen before, and many shops explained each one carefully.

I bought
a Tillandia at the first shop I went to It appears to have small, red, beautiful flowers.

↑This is not a Tillandia, but it made an impact so I took a photo.
It looks like the flowers are drying out.

The person at this shop was very detailed about how to grow it, so I was impressed by it.

also bought
things I'll forget It's small, but it's so cute I like it -
I've been advised that there are times when I forget about it

There were also many
succulents I wonder if they're popular these days?

What an apple ? ? ? There was also.
It's interesting because it's all new discoveries!

Citrus seedlings also appeared.
If the garden is spacious, I'd love to plant lemon trees and more!

Oh yeah, the plum corner was amazing.
There are a variety of plums, including weeping plums and small plums.
Big trees cost around 70,000 yen. It's also difficult to carry!

There were also other stores besides the plant.

Even though it's called Ueki City, there were other shops too.

First, the food.
There was a stall from Tohoku, and the seaweed tsukudani was delicious,
but I bought the dried shrimp for 2 sho, which cost 500 yen.
The umeboshi hijiki was also delicious.

The fish shop was also very successful.

Also, there was
a knife specialty store A high-end knife costs around 50,000 yen.
There are some rare items such as eel knife and chestnut knife, so men might prefer this one more than flowers lol

There are also antique shops, and there are a variety of items, including old carpenter tools and ceramics.

I missed the photo, but they also sold Nishikigoi stores and medaka.
Wow, anything is interesting.

Impressions of this year's Ueki City 2019

Well, this time I came to Ueki City in Kumamoto City, but I wasn't interested in it, so I thought I'd try raising something.
I was particularly impressed by the small sized flowers, like succulents and forgetful grass.

There are three greenhouses, and perhaps because it was cold, a few people a little .

There are also many food shops, so tea and roasted sweet potatoes in the cold are definitely delicious!
I can't eat it because I'm restricting carbohydrates;;

Oh yeah, isn't Ueki City a country park?
There are probably people who think this way.

It will be
hosted by JA Of course, it's held at the country park.
I went there last year.

What's the difference?
I think most of the JA organizers had agricultural products and stalls opened by region.
The organizer of Kumamoto City seemed to have a lot of flowers and plants.

This is just a subjective opinion, so please don't take it at face value.

That's it, Taiko!
