This afternoon, I strolled up to the town graden show being held on the banks of the Shirakawa, about 10 minutes from my house. They set up huge greenhouses and display elaborate gardens and sell quite a bit of foliage every year. This year was the first time I checked it out. A lot of it is really beautiful.

The garden you see here is a typical on on display. Near the display is a small sign with the price and a stack of business cards. A garden like this, fully installed in your yard, only about 250万円 or about 25,000 smacks.

If you click on the picture and check out some other merchandise, you can see some award winning bonsai trees (2 ft tall, about $2,500) or some nice Koi for the backyard pond (from $100 each).
