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.

A LIGHT COVERING OF SNOW IN OUR GARDENS (うっすら雪化粧した我が家の庭)

The strongest cold front of the winter arrived in Kyushu yesterday, and when I woke this morning, the garden was lightly dusted with snow. It was the first time this winter that snow had settled. I went down into the garden, walked around, and enjoyed the snowy scenery. Please join me in watching the video of the snowy garden.

昨日からこの冬最強の寒気が九州にも来て、今朝起きたら庭はうっすらと雪化粧していました。この冬初めての積雪です。庭に下りて庭を回って雪景色を楽しみました。皆さんも一緒に動画で雪の庭をご覧ください。
