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.

RELAXED ATMOSPHERE WITH GARDEN PICTURES AND ROSE (庭の写真とバラの花で和やかな雰囲気に)
I had made picture panels of our garden, and I hanged two panels on the wall of my office.
There had been nothing, even a window, but just white wall paper, and I had been frustrated. The pictures made atmosphere more relaxed and I feel comfortable.
(庭の写真をパネルにして、仕事場の壁に2枚掛けました。もともと白い壁紙だけで、ほかには何もない、窓さえなかったので、よくストレスがたまっていました。写真は雰囲気を和らげて、快適になりました。)
The first one is a bird's‐eye photo of our main garden.
(一枚はメインガーデンの鳥瞰的な写真です。)
And the second one is a sleeper steps with shrub roses on both sides.
(もう一枚は両側にバラが咲く枕木の階段です。)
