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 ROSE OF SHARON IN SIDE YARD GARDEN (横庭の純白のムクゲ)

The Rose of Sharon in the side yard garden grew naturally, not planted by me, but has produced pure white flowers every year for the past few years. They wilt within a day, but there are many buds, so we can see many flowers every day. Here in the side yard garden, we have two varieties of camellias in March, roses in May and then in July it is the turn of the Rose of Sharon.

自分で植えたわけでなく、自然に生えてきた横庭のムクゲですが、ここ数年は毎年純白の花を咲かせます。一日でしぼんでしまいますが、たくさんつぼみがあるので、毎日多くの花をみることができます。ここ横庭では、3月には2種類の椿が咲いて、5月にはバラが咲き、そして7月がムクゲの番です。
