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.

PLUM FLOWERS (スモモの花)

Plum flowers are blooming at the far left of the main garden. The pure white flowers and yellow-green leaves are very beautiful together. The variety is called Santa Rosa and the reddish-purple fruits are very sweet and sour. We are looking forward to another year of fruit.

メインガーデン左奥でスモモの花が咲いています。真っ白の花と黄緑の葉が一緒に出てとてもきれいです。サンタローザという品種で、赤紫の実はとても甘酸っぱくておいしいです。今年も実がなるのが楽しみです。
