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.
A variety of foliage is growing in the shade garden, which is shaded by the garden room, and flowers have started to bloom. The heart-shaped spreading Gymnaster savatieri has white flowers, bringing brightness to the dark garden. Many shoots of Solomon's seal have grown and some have produced flower buds. Hostas are spreading large new green shoots. The slightly less vigorous acanthus is finally starting to unfurl its leaves. Christmas roses are setting seed.
