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.

SOLOMON'S SEAL IN SHADE GARDEN (シェードガーデンのアマドコロ)

Solomon's seal has started to flower in the shade garden, following the Gymnaster savatieri. The many long, narrow bell-shaped flowers hanging from the branches are unforgettably pretty at first sight. Potted lily of the valley is also in bloom. This one has short bell-shaped pure white flowers, which are also very pretty.

シェードガーデンでミヤコワスレに続いてアマドコロが咲き始めました。細長い釣鐘状の花がたくさん枝から下がった姿は一目見ると忘れられない可愛さです。一緒に鉢植えのスズランも咲いています。こちらは短い釣鐘状の純白の花で、これもとても可愛らしいです。
