20110908

Another moist day (the forecast is rain for the next five days…). Apart from my Thursday’s shift, we did our first plant ID (25 plants listed, needed to be remembered by two weeks later.)

今日は木曜のシフトのほかに、初の植物ID が発表されました。植物を見分けられて、その名前や育ち方などを覚えるのです。とりあえず25の植物が選ばれて、2週間後にテストがあります。

Furthermore, we went to visit Wildside Nursery and Garden.

そしてさらに、今日はワイルドサイド ナーサリーに行きました。

It is a garden (and plant nursery) created by Keith Wiley, who developed most of the Garden House structure. His garden is AMAZING. Really, truly mind blowing!!! Any gardeners or even non-gardeners must visit his garden. Unfortunately it is not open all the time and closed in winter. (Summer month Thursdays and Saturdays apart from august closed) I asked him if he draw plans before start making gardens and he doesn’t. Yet his garden is full of thoughts and clever ideas all in order. I think you have to be genius to create a garden like this and obviously a lot of experience.

ワイルドサイド ナーサリーはここガーデンハウスの前ヘッドガーデナー、キース・ワイリーの庭とナーサリー(植物を育てて売るビジネス)です。ガーデンに関わる人はもちろん、そうでない人も、機会があれば絶対に訪れてほしい庭です。こんな庭見たことない!!キースに案内してもらって庭を見て回ったのだけれど、もう言葉にできません。そして7年間にキースと奥さんのロズが成し遂げた仕事量に脱帽です。

There isn’t much on the website, but you will know where it is!

I didn’t take any pictures because Keith guided us around and I didn’t want to waste time taking pictures! I will next time though (in spring).

今日は案内してもらいながら見て回ったのでもったいなくて写真がとれませんでしたが、次回は是非!(春まで待たないといけませんが)

Here is one of the Plant Ident…

植物IDのうちのひとつ






I will tell you what it is tomorrow :)

名前は明日のお楽しみ!

  1. Lovely pictures in spite of the use of your phone. I didn't know yours had broken. You must have a decent camera to record your time and the garden through the changing seasons. Keep up the blog. Hope to visit you soon. John
