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.

VIBRANT AMARYLLIS FLOWERS (鮮やかなアマリリスの花たち)

Amaryllis are blooming in front of the garden room. They are the first thing you see when you come up from the entrance at the bottom. Ever since I planted the bulbs a friend gave me over ten years ago, they have bloomed every spring. The white amaryllis had been looking rather lacklustre and hadn’t bloomed for the last few years, but they have finally produced flowers again after several years. They are beautiful amaryllis with very vibrant colours.

ガーデンルームの前にアマリリスが咲いています。下の入り口から上がってくるときに最初に目に入るのがこのアマリリスです。10数年まえに知人に頂いた球根を植えて以来、ずっと春に咲いています。白いアマリリスはここ何年か元気がなくて咲いていませんでしたが、数年ぶりに花を咲かせてくれました。とても鮮やかな色の美しいアマリリスたちです。
