Enjoy camellias in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and stunning autumn foliage. In the camellia garden, you'll find a wide variety of camellias, from early to late bloomers, each a captivating sight. The hydrangea garden is a riot of vibrant pink and blue, creating a breathtaking floral spectacle. In autumn, the entire park explodes with fiery reds and yellows of the autumn leaves.
