Kurume, renowned for its nursery stock industry that dates back over 300 years to the Edo period, stands as one of Japan’s premier plant cultivation regions. It hosts an annual exhibition and sale that draws nursery stock traders from all over. This year, the event will feature 15 vendors, offering an impressive array of 100,000 plants across 1,000 species. Attendees can look forward to workshops on crafting kokedama (moss balls) and swags, alongside special events like a plant auction at 13:00 on the 17th. It promises to be an enjoyable outdoor experience, whether you’re seeking advice from plant care experts or simply exploring the wide variety of plants on display. Additionally, food and drink will be available from food trucks, adding to the festive atmosphere.
