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.

WILD CHERRY SHEDS ITS LEAVES (葉を落とす山桜)

The leaves of the wild cherry tree, which began to fall about a week ago, have now become much sparser due to the strong winds caused by the typhoon. It is cool in the mornings and evenings, and it has become a pleasant time of year for gardening.

一週間ほど前から落ち始めた山桜の葉が、台風の影響もあって強い風が続き、ずいぶん少なくなってきました。朝晩は涼しくて、庭仕事もしやすい季節になりました。
