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.

PURE WHITE CALLA ON A MORNING AFTER RAIN (雨上がりの朝、純白のカラー）

It had rained a lot the day before and finally stopped in the morning. When I went out into the garden, the garden was soaking wet and the flowers were looking down with the weight. The ground is very pretty with lots of scattered petals from the Angela on the arch. The roses on the brick wall are almost finished, but the calla in front of it is in full bloom and its pure white petals, wet from the rain, stand out beautifully.

前日からたくさん雨が降って、朝方やっと止みました。庭に出ると庭はびっしょりと濡れて、花も重みで下を向いています。アーチの上のアンジェラの花びらがたくさん散って、地面がとてもきれいです。レンガ塀のバラはほとんど終わりましたが、その前にあるカラーがたくさん咲いて、雨に濡れた純白の花びらが際立ってきれいです。
