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.

FLOWERS OF CUPHEA IN THE EVENING (夕暮れのクフェアの花)

In the side yard garden, the pink flowers of the cuphea are now in full bloom. This shrub endures the hot summer, and its size can be kept manageable through pruning. Its vivid pink stood out strikingly in the garden at dusk.

横庭では今クフェアのピンクの花が満開です。暑い夏に耐える低木で、剪定で大きさを小さく保つことができます。夕暮れの庭で鮮やかなピンクが目立っていました。
