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.

Roses in June

Roses flowering now are shown along a path from the upper entrance of the main garden to the kitchen garden at the bottom.

A Shropshire Lad (David Austin):  The name is taken from A.E. Houseman’s cycle of poems about his home county, where David Austin rose gardens and nursery are situated. 
At the David Austin Rose Gardens at Albrighton, I bought this hardcover book published in 2009. I like this book because there are many beautiful pictures of Shropshire.  The poems are unfortunately too difficult for me to read without monographs in Japanese.  

Pierre De Ronsard

Mary Rose (David Austin) and 'MARPLE'

Scarborough Fair (David Austin):  This rose always flowers on every shoot except in Winter.  It's amazing!  

Sky Lark (David Austin)

 La Parisienne (Delbard) and a scarecrow 'POIROT'
Cocktail (Meilland)



This plastic garden sheds ('Summit' by Keter) is my favorite. Its design is good and it is easy to set up and care for.  Although wooden sheds look the best and metal sheds are the most durable, I had chosen this.

Now we use this mainly for storage of tools for gardening and carpentry.  

A DIY home center in my town sells this shed as 'a hideaway for men'. :-)

    1. Hydrangea is more beautiful on rainy days. We are in the rainy season in Japan, and It is raining today all over Japan.
