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.

RAIN LILY TELLS US ABOUT THE FOOTSTEPS OF AUTUMN (タマスダレが伝える秋の足音)

Rain lily is a bulb plant that blooms at the end of summer. It begins to flower at the beginning of September, when the heat eases a little each year. This year was the hottest summer on record, but even so, the mornings and evenings are slightly cooler and the rain lily tell us that autumn is on its way.

タマスダレは夏の終わりに咲く球根植物です。毎年暑さが少し和らぐ9月の初めごろから咲き始めます。今年は史上最高の暑い夏でしたが、それでも朝晩はわずかに涼しさが感じられ、秋の足音をタマスダレが伝えてくれます。
