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.

THE SNOWFLAKES HAVE BEGUN TO BLOOM (スノーフレークが咲き始めました)

We mainly grow snowflakes in pots. It seems that the timing of when they start to bloom varies slightly depending on the pot. This year, they’ve started blooming a little later than usual. The sight of the white, bell-shaped flowers with green speckles is absolutely charming.

スノーフレークは主に鉢植えで育てています。鉢によって咲き始めが少し違うようです。今年は咲き始めが少し遅れています。緑色の斑点のある釣鐘の形の白い花が咲いている姿はとても可愛らしいです。
