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.

FLOWERS HAVE STARTED TO BLOOM ON THE GREEN CURTAIN (緑のカーテンに花が咲き出しました)

We’ll soon be entering the rainy season, followed by the scorching heat of midsummer. To provide shade for the garden room, where the afternoon sun shines through the window, I’ve trained climbing plants from the walls on either side to form a green curtain. The vines have grown quite a bit and have started to flower. On the left is a potato vine, and on the right is a passion flower.

間もなく梅雨の季節に入り、そのあと猛暑の真夏がやってきます。西日の入るガーデンルームの窓に両側の壁からつる植物による緑のカーテンを伸ばして日よけにします。だいぶんつるが伸びてきていて、花もつけはじめました。左側がツルハナナス、右側がトケイソウです。
