今日の動画:花を長く楽しむ
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.
This year I made some dried flowers from the big flowers in my garden. Grove artichokes, acanthus mollis and others. I cut them when they are finished flowering and dry them indoors.
The dried flowers in the wicker vase we made last year are displayed in the garden room. Please watch the video.
庭で咲いた大きな花たちのドライフラワーを今年も作りました. グローブアーティチョーク、アカンサスモリスなどです. 花が終わるころに切って室内で乾燥させます.
昨年作った籐の花器に生けたドライフラワーはガーデンルームに飾っています. ぜひ動画でご覧ください.
