今日の動画:雨の日の庭の散歩
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.
Here's a look at one of Britain's most famous vegetable gardens, which was the model for our own. We visited Barnsley House in Cirencester 9 years ago.
我が家のポタジェのモデルとなったイギリスの有名な菜園の一つをご紹介しましょう. サイレンセスターにあるバーンズリーハウスを訪ねたのは9年前です.
I had seen this garden in a book ’Gardens around the world; 365days' and had always wanted to visit it, so when I found a tour of British gardens including this one, I joined.
一年の日めくり形式で世界の庭園を紹介する本で見て、是非一度は訪ねたいと思っていた菜園で、ここを含めてイギリスの庭園を回るツアーを見つけて参加しました。
I have learnt a lot from this kitchen garden and applied it to our own garden.
この菜園からさまざまなことを学び、うちの庭に応用しました.
