Shichiku Garden
紫竹ガーデン
A private garden created by 'the flower grandmother' Akiyo Shichiku, where about 2,500 kinds of flowers and plants bloom in turn through the seasons. It has a wild, natural charm.
Shichiku Garden is a garden that Akiyo Shichiku began building by hand around 1990 on her family's farmland. Guided by the idea of a 'garden like a wild field,' it includes perennial borders, a white garden, a rock garden, and an avenue of apple trees. About 2,500 kinds of flowers and plants bloom from spring to autumn. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch made with vegetables grown on the property. Admission is about 1,000 yen. It is open from mid-April to November. The garden lies in the farmland south of Obihiro City, about 30 minutes by car from Obihiro Station.
