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.

PURPLE AND BLUE: SHOWTIME SOON (紫と青、間もなくショータイム)

Wisteria has started to bloom above the brick wall.

The purple flowers are blooming and it will soon be show time.

煉瓦塀の上方にフジが咲き始めました.

紫色の花が咲き進み、間もなくショータイムです

And the bluebell garden will soon be at its most glorious time of the year, as the bluebells begin to bloom. Right now, the Allium triquetrum (also known as snowbells) are in full bloom.

そして、ブルーベルの庭ではブルーベルが咲き始め、この庭が一年で一番輝くときが間もなくやってきます. 今はミツカドネギ（別名スノーベル）が満開です.
