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.

ROSES SWAYING IN THE STRONG WIND- REFLECTIONS ON THE MAY GARDEN ② (今年の五月の庭、強風に揺れる薔薇)

A strong wind blew and the roses on the brick wall were shaking a lot. Because they were only at the beginning of flowering, there were not many petals scattered by the wind.

強い風が吹いてレンガ塀のバラたちが大きく揺れていました。まだ咲き始めだったので風で散る花弁はあまりありませんでした。
