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.

LEOPARD PLANT FLOWERS HERE AND THERE (あちこちでツワブキ開花)

It is late November and the mornings and evenings are getting colder in the garden. In the garden, the yellow flowers of the leopard plant are blooming here and there. The bright yellow petals and orange stamens are very cheerful. The days are getting shorter and the season is getting dreary, so it's good to have some cheerful flowers.

11月も下旬になって、庭も朝晩は寒くなってきました. 庭ではツワブキの黄色い花があちこちで咲いています. 明るく鮮やかな黄色の花びらとオレンジ色のしべを見ると、何だか元気が出てきます. 日が短くなってさみしくなる季節、元気のでる花はいいですね.
