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.

PALE COLOUR FLOWERS OF HYDRANGEAS IN EARLY BLOOM (咲き始めの淡い花色のアジサイ)

Hydrangeas have started to flower in the Bluebell garden. At the beginning of flowering, the flowers are small and pale in colour and look very neat. Today is the start of the rainy season, and it is finally the season for hydrangeas that look beautiful in the rain.

ブルーベルの庭でアジサイの花が咲き始めました. 咲き始めは花も小さくて色が淡くて、とても清楚にみえます. 今日梅雨入りして、いよいよ雨に映えるアジサイの季節になります.
