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.

SMALL WHITE NARCISSUS (小さな白の水仙)

The small white narcissus that start to bloom every year at the beginning of winter at the lower entrance to the garden are now in full bloom. The flowers are pure white except for the stamens and their small size makes them look very pretty. Other varieties of narcissus will be blooming one after another from now on.

庭の下の入り口のところに毎年冬の初めに咲き始める小さな白い水仙が満開になりました。雄しべ以外は真っ白でサイズの小さい花はとても可愛らしく見えます。これから他の品種の水仙も次々と咲き継いでいきます。
