I have just made a photo album of our garden 2018.
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.

Dear Poirot and Marple
ReplyDeleteYour photo book is lovely. What a nice way to remember your garden in 2018 (and all the work that goes into making it look this good!)
I hope that 2019 will be just as successful for you.
Best wishes
Ellie
Dear Ellie
DeleteI really thank to Mother Nature for bringing us a lot of beautiful leaves, flowers, fruits, smells, flavors, bees, butterflies and so on every year. And we recall those by looking at photo books. Taking a closer look, they are so different every year, and it's fun!
