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 FLOWERS IN THE BLUEBELL GARDEN (ブルーベルの庭の白い花たち)

In the middle of the rainy season, gardenias are blooming in the Bluebell garden. They smell very sweet. The hydrangea flowers, which have been blooming for some time now, are also getting bigger and brighten up the dark garden in the shade of the wild cherry tree. The chameleon plant also continues to bloom. It too has a distinctive fragrance. The leaves of the Allium triquetrum have completely withered away and the soil can be seen in the areas where the dead leaves have been removed. The bluebell leaves have also generally died back.

梅雨の最中、ブルーベルの庭ではクチナシの花が咲いてきました。とても甘くていい香りがします。少し前から咲いているアジサイの花も大きくなって、山桜の陰の暗い庭を明るくしています。ドクダミも咲き続けています。これも独特の香りを放っています。ミツカドネギの葉は完全に枯れて、枯葉を取り除いた部分は土が見えています。ブルーベルの葉もおおむね枯れてしまいました。
