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 OF LANTANAS IN MID-SUMMER (真夏のランタナの花たち)

Lantana is a flower that blooms profusely from spring through to autumn. White lantana is a shrub with beautiful, pure white petals. Meanwhile, the small or creeping lantana is a vine, with long, trailing branches that continuously produce a succession of flowers ranging from pink to reddish-purple. Both varieties have leaves with a refreshing fragrance.

ランタナは春から秋までよく咲き続ける花です。白のランタナはシュラブで真っ白い花びらが美しいです。そしてコバノランタナはつる性で、長く伸びる枝咲きに次々とピンクから赤紫色の花を咲き続けます。どちらも葉には爽やかな香りがあります。
