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.

HUGE LEAVES OF ALOCASIA ODORA (クワズイモのでっかい葉っぱ)

Alocasia is a plant with large leaves. It can grow to about a meter long.

The leaves and stems were completely ruined by the snowfall in January this year, but the roots are still alive, and in the spring they grow new leaves, which now form a large bush.

Underneath the dark foliage are inconspicuous flowers and fruits.

クワズイモは大きな葉をもつ植物です. 長さはおよそ1メートルに及びます.

寒さにやや弱く、今年の一月に雪が降って、葉や茎はすっかりダメになりましたが、根は生きていて、春には新しい葉を伸ばしてきて、今は大きな茂みになっています.

葉の下は薄暗いんのですが、そこに目立たない花と、実をつけます.
