More than a century ago, the Butchart family of industrialists from Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) decided to set up a flower garden on their land, which is now called a national historic heritage. The landscape design of the park was attended by designer Isaburo Kishida, who recreated in the distant land of immigrants the atmosphere of a secluded Japanese garden with traditional attributes — murmuring streams, waterfalls, wooden bridges.

Just a few hours drive from Tokyo is home to one of the most striking flower parks in the world — the Kawachi Fuji Garden. Thousands of unique and rare varieties of flowers and plants from all over the planet grow here, but the garden is famous primarily for the fascinating Wisteria Tunnel. A downpour of hanging garlands of white, pink and lilac wisteria stretches for many kilometers, winds through labyrinths, creates cozy corridors, covers centuries-old trees. According to Japanese traditions, a garden is not perfect if it does not have at least one wisteria. In this sense, Kawachi Fuji is the limit of the perfection of nature.

Employees of the park proudly declare that the palette of their flower garden has more than 60 different shades.

From the end of June to the middle of August, Provence becomes the epicenter of tourist France. Romantics from all over the world come here to stroll through the lush olive groves, find the comfort and tranquility of the countryside and, of course, marvel at the endless lavender fields. And although lavender grows in Provence in almost every garden, in order to see the fragrant sea of flowers, you need to lay your route through the north of the region.
