The botanical garden kept not only plants and flowers but also kept cute birds in the same area. Toco toucan was one of them.

Flowers were, of course, beautiful. 

In addition to the flowers, those birds gave spices to visitors to the garden.

I Go to Tsukuba Botanical Garden #2

Since I live in a high-rise condominium, the number of flowers and plants, I can keep at home, is limited.

So, visiting botanical gardens is always great fun for me.

Most of national botanical gardens are admission free on May 4th, national holiday, Greenery Day.

The day is the best choice to visit botanical gardens.
