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.

BLUEBERRY HAS STARTED TO FLOWER (ブルーベリーが開花)

In the garden, fruit trees are flowering one after another, starting with plum blossoms in March. Blueberries have also started to flower. There are still very few bees in flower, so we hope that many more will come soon to increase the harvest.

庭では3月のスモモの花から始まって、次々と果樹の花が咲いてきています。ブルーベリーも開花が始まりました。まだ花蜂がすごく少ないので、収穫量が多くなるためにも早くたくさんの花蜂に来て欲しいところです。
