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 PINK CAMELLIA HAS STARTED TO BLOOM (淡いピンクの椿が開花)

A single, pale pink camellia has started to bloom. It is blooming on the other side of the white fence.

I didn't notice that it had started to bloom because it is so out of sight behind the fence. It has many buds and will continue to flower until March.

一重の淡いピンク色の椿が咲き始めました. 白いフェンスの向こう側で咲いています.

フェンスの向こうなので、目立たない場所のため、咲き始めているのに気が付きませんでした. たくさんの蕾があって、3月まで咲き続けます.
