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.

WHITE ASTILBE WITH NASTURTIUM (ナスタチウムと白のアスチルベ)

Nasturtiums and astilbe, growing in a small raised bed next to the terrace, are in bloom. The nasturtiums have yellow and orange flowers, while the astilbe has pure white flowers. The contrast between the shape of the leaves and flowers and the colour of the flowers is beautiful.

テラスの横の小さなレイズドベッドに育つナスタチウムとアスチルベが咲いています。ナスタチウムは黄色とオレンジ色の花、そしてアスチルベは純白の花です。葉や花の形、そして花色の対比がきれいです。
