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.

RED COLOURED LEAVES (赤く色づく葉)

Leaves of some plants in our garden show red colouring.
There still are many flowers of autumn, such as cosmos, Japanese anemone, lantana, glory bush and some varieties of rose.
However, winter has come and they'll finish flowering soon.

庭では植物の葉が赤く色づいています.
いまでもまだ秋の花たち、たとえば
コスモス、シュウメイギク、ランタナ、ノボタン、
それにいくつかの品種のバラも咲いています.
しかし、冬はもう来ていて、それらの花もすぐに終わりを迎えそうです.
