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.

WILD CHERRY MOVED INTO BLOOM AFTER DAYS OF RAIN (連日の雨のあと、山桜が満開へ)

After four days of rain since flowering, the weather has been fine for the first time in a long time and the wild cherry tree is in full bloom. The slightly pinkish wild cherry blossoms look beautiful against the blue sky. For the next few days, the wild cherry will be the star of the garden and will glow.

開花してから4日間雨が続いたあと、久しぶりに好天となり、ヤマザクラが満開となりました。わずかにピンクがかった山桜の花が青空に映えます。これから数日間はこのヤマザクラが庭の主役となって輝きます。
