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.

RED LYCORIS CALLED AS AUTUMNAL EQUINOX FLOWER (秋のお彼岸の花)

One red lycoris, which blooms around the autumnal equinox, flowered a week before the autumnal equinox. Several more flowers should continue to bloom in other places. The lycoris is another flower that signals autumn.

秋の彼岸の頃に咲く赤いヒガンバナが、秋分の日の一週間前に一輪開花しました。他の所にもこれからいくつか花が咲くはずです。ヒガンバナも秋を知らせる花です。
