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.

AZALEA KURUME BLOSSOMS OF STRIKING VIVIDNESS (目の覚めるような鮮やかなクルメツツジ)

The Kurume azalea is a shrub that produces an abundance of small flowers, covering the entire plant. It comes in a wide range of colours, including white, pink, red and reddish-purple, and is a truly beautiful flowering shrub. Planted some twenty years ago, they have been growing steadily. It requires very little maintenance, as all that is needed is a light pruning of any overgrown branches.

クルメツツジは低木で小さめの花が全体を覆ってしまうようにたくさんの花をつけます。白やピンク、赤、赤紫などたくさんの花色があり、とても美しい花木です。植えて20年ほどになりますが、少しずつ大きく育っています。伸びすぎた枝を少し剪定するだけでよいので、手もかかりません。
