Facility Introduction

 

“Berry Spoon”
Berry Spoon, a dream art orchard and work by artist, to the woods, was created at the 2003 Art Festival as an art project to create an orchard where people can get involved by growing berries. Its goal is a space where people can enjoy living nature. The orchard contains 30 varieties of berries from all around the world together with numerous other flowers, fruits, and leaves whose colors vary with seasons. The Berry House is equipped with information, pictures and books related to berries and provides a communication space for workshops and other events through the process from planting and processing berries to producing products made of berries. Here agriculture and art come together, creating a place where agriculture becomes a new type of culture.
