Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介

　夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました.　赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.

　2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

FLOWERS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GARDEN (庭の入口の花)

At the upper entrance of our main garden,
two varieties of Hardenbergia are in bloom; white and purple.
Light pink camellia is still flowering beside them.

メインガーデンの上の入口に二種類のハーデンベルギアを植えています。

白とピンクです。

その横にはピンクのツバキが咲いています。

We planted snowflake bulbs which we dug up at the lower entrance of our garden in a pot last autumn. One of the bulb bears flowers because of warm weather.
