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.

ACASIA BLOSSOMS GLISTENING IN THE MORNING SUN (朝日に輝くミモザの花)

The wild cherry blossoms are gradually coming into bloom, and spring is now in full swing. Acacia baileyana was covered in yellowish buds during the cold season, and though we had been eagerly awaiting its bloom, it has finally begun to flower, turning the garden a vivid yellow. There are still plenty of buds left, so full bloom is likely a little way off, but the bluebell garden has suddenly brightened up. It shines all the more brilliantly as it catches the morning sun rising from the summit of Itoshima Fuji (Kaya Mountain).

山桜が少しずつ咲き進み、いよいよ春もたけなわになってきました。ミモザ（ギンヨウアカシア）は寒い時期に黄色味を帯びた花のつぼみがたくさんついて、開花は今か今かと待っていましたが、ついに咲き出して鮮やかな黄色に染まっています。まだ蕾がたくさんあり、満開はもう少し後のようですが、ブルーベルの庭がパッと明るくなっています。ちょうど糸島富士（可也山）の頂上から出る朝日をあびて一層輝きます。
