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.

ROSES IN MIDSUMMER (真夏のバラたち)

Roses blooming in the garden were cut and arranged in a vase. They are three varieties of roses: Scarborough Fair, The Pilgrim, and Mary Delaney. Compared to the flowers in full bloom in May, all of them are small and pale in colour.

庭に咲いているバラの花を切って花瓶に生けました。スキャボロフェア、ザピルグリム、メアリーディレイニーの三種類のバラです。どの花も５月の最盛期の花に比べると小さくて、色も淡い感じです。
