ニコライ バーグマン 箱根 ガーデンズには、3000株以上の様々な色合いの紫陽花が園内で輝いています。 まず園内入口から続く駐車場横には、無数の紫陽花が咲き誇ります。Nicolai Bergmann Flagship Storeの2Fにて実施しているフラワースクールで使用した紫陽花の苗をここで循環利用しています。ピンクやブルー、ホワイトなど多数の色に輝きます。7月には満開を迎えるメインスポットです。   また、NOMU hakone前やメインストリートやウェルカムパビリオン、マーケットプレイスなどでも多数の紫陽花が各所で咲き誇ります。箱根 ガーデンズは、標高が高いので都心部よりも長く紫陽花をたのしむことができ、9月ごろにかけて徐々に色がアンティークに染まっていくのが特徴です。 ぜひ一度、夏の箱根 ガーデンズへお越しください。
