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.

CHAMELEON PLANT IS FLOWERING (ドクダミが咲いています)

Chameleon plant flowers are currently in bloom in the Bluebell Garden. With their four pure white petals and bright yellow stamens, they look absolutely lovely against the backdrop of the beautiful foliage. A few double-flowered chameleon plants, where the stamens have formed into petals, are also in bloom. Once these flowers start to bloom, the rainy season will soon be upon us.

ブルーベルの庭では今ドクダミの花が咲いています。4枚の真っ白な花びらと鮮やかな黄色の雄しべが、美しい葉色を背景にとても綺麗です。雄しべが花びらになった八重咲きのドクダミも少し咲いています。この花が咲きだすと間もなく梅雨入りです。
