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.

A SHADY SLOPE GARDEN (日陰の斜面の庭)

Marple has been making a slope garden beside the steps connecting the main garden and the potager.  The slope was weed‐infested for years.



She bought concrete curved blocks with stone wall appearance.  She intended to use them for retaining walls.


She placed the curved blocks temporarily to design arrangement of blocks.


After that, I helped her to make a concrete footing.



She painted the blocks dark brown because its original colour was too bright.



Small retaining walls were accomplished, and in some of which she planted plants preferring shade.
