It was afternoon when we arrived at Enoshima’s Samuel Cocking Garden. There’s usually an entrance fee going inside, but at that time, they opened it for free. Lucky! The Enoshima Sea Candle is located inside along with other attractions. Before going to the Sea Candle, we were somewhat pulled to the remains of the conversatory and moments later, we found ourselves inside a renovated room exhibiting rhe life of Samuel Cocking.
Samuel Cocking was a British merchant and this garden was established by him when he was still alive. It was a small botanical garden and was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake according to wikipedia. The remains were found and on top of it is this exhibit room detailing the life and works of Samuel Cocking. There’s even a video shown on the screen but I didn’t sit down and watched.
Too bad it’s all in Japanese. My brain has its limits, reading all these in Japanese would make my brain explode. It’s just too much texts I don’t understand 🥲 Don’t worry though, the information exhibited here are all in wikipedia. How do I know? Because I read the text in Japanese 🥲
Anyways, that’s not what I want to show. I want to show my photos of the plants inside the jar in the exhibit. There were lots of them! Some were hanging, some were on the table.
I wasn’t really planning to take photos of them because the ones hanged were too hard for me to reach. 🥲 But I was happy I was still able to get decent shots of them.
Looking at these plants, I couldn’t help but think it would make a pretty decor in the house. Though I think this would be too much to handle.
These ones inside the jar, how were they able to put it here? I really wonder. Don’t you think it’s amazing how they were able to put and set it up nicely in this jar?
The floor of this room is in glass by the way. I could clearly see the remains from here.
Although the exhibit lies in a small room, I think they did a pretty good job with the decorations. It would have been nice too if they have English texts but I think they’re aiming for Samuel Cocking to be known to Japanese.
I enjoyed the plants though. Hope I could take home at least one 😆
Thanks for reading!
See you around! じゃあ、またね！

Those little plants are looking amazing in that jar.

Neat how there able to do this. I know glass can be heated and shaped. These glass plants make good office decorations on desks or at home in many places. Thanks for sharing
IKR! They're really good decorations! That's why I want to take at least one home. 😂
Too bad they don't have it for sale.
Thanks!!
The glass walls and floor makes the room sophisticated. The jars with plants makes beautiful decorations.
IKR! They look nice!
It's glass everywhere and I think this is one of the reasons why this room looks grand.😊 I love to have plants in these glass jars too. They are best in my center table, at home and in school. Hehehe
Agree, they could be placed anywhere!
