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.

CAMELLIA SASANQUA HAS STARTED TO FLOWER (サザンカが咲き始めました)

Camellia sasanqua is an evergreen tree that blooms in early winter and has many bright pink flowers in the garden . Fukuoka has many cloudy days in winter and sunny days are rare. The temperature may be low, but when it is sunny, our garden on the southern slope is warm. Many petals have already fallen under the sasanqua tree, turning the ground into a pink carpet.

サザンカは初冬に咲く常緑樹で、庭では鮮やかなピンクの花がたくさん咲いています. 福岡は冬は曇りの日が多く、晴れの日は貴重です。気温は低くても晴れると南斜面にある我が家の庭は暖かくなります. サザンカの木の下にはすでにたくさんの花びらが落ちていて、地面がピンクのカーペットになっています.
