In addition to the nursery, there is a large stroll garden onsite. Although designed with the intent of inspiring people to consider having their own garden built, the stroll garden in itself is a wonderful example of a traditional Japanese stroll garden similar in size and design quality to many of the larger botanic garden versions I have visited across the country.
What I enjoyed the most about the garden was that I could actually walk through its stone lined path. Many public gardens I visit only allow you to view such gardens from behind a fence, as a mere landscape. This garden was personal - I was able to experience the many twists and turns and changing scenes as I walked through. I have only rarely experienced this is North American public gardens, although more frequently in Japan. Having access to such an authentic experience at Shin-Boku made visiting the nursery/garden all the more worthwhile.
If interested in acquiring a large trees and looking for a landscape designer experienced in building Japanese style gardens, then you will want to consider Shin-Boku Nursery. If you want to experience an exhilarating walk through a stroll garden, then a visit is most definitely worthwhile.
