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.

The new member of roses in our garden

 Recently we welcomed the new variety of rose 'Mortimer Suckler' (David Austin).

A big branch of a fig tree is cut to make a room for the rose.


Marple is planting using horse manure compost.

Last year, we visited the English Rose Garden in Osaka, Japan.



 This rose garden was open two years ago by David Austin Roses.



I found the Rosa 'Mortimer Sackler' trained to the arch.  Because this rose flowers very well at every height without zigzag training to the arch and has very few thorns, I fancy it.

The Plants Center



David J.C. Austin came and gave a short lecture about rose at the plants center.  Later I and my wife talk to him and take a picture with him.



We were pleased, because we couldn't see him when we visited David Austin Rose Gardens at Albrighton 2010 and 2012.

  1. I appreciate very much your sense of humour. Marple and Poirot, I love both. I enjoyed pictures of your garden and others. I cannot wait to start digging and planting in my backyard, but in Québec, Canada, it is too early yet. This winter I was happy growing indoor some grass for my kitty; little achievement and big success :) I will come and visit your page again. Take care in these hard times.
