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.

ROSES IN OCTOBER (十月のバラ)

The shrub roses that I pruned about six weeks ago are starting to bloom. The flowers are a little smaller and fewer in number than those of early summer, but they seem to be a little darker in color. When these autumn roses are finished, autumn will finally begin to deepen.

6週間ほど前に剪定した木立性バラたちが、花を咲かせ始めています. 初夏の花に比べてやや小ぶりで花数も少ないですが、少し色が濃い印象があります. この秋バラが終わると、いよいよ秋が深まってきそうです.
