Rocks and Clouds in the Blue Sky




I went to the Stone quarry to get good shape stones to use in the garden we are constructing with my father. Beautiful blew sky, interesting clouds, stones mountain.. The view was awesome!



What a nice view! I couldn't stop taking a lots of photos, even though my father told me 'what for did you come here ?'.






We were able to get good stones which suit our new garden .and We carried them.
It should be good Japanese natural style garden with them.
Creating new garden is so exciting for us.

I love the rural scene with rice fields.  So peaceful.

Spring is coming soon

Hello. I'm Ryotaro.
I'm Japanese landscaping gardener.

I started this new blog as a English version of Ume's Green Journal(Japanese).
If you are Japanese, click here.


I'm going to report about my work and daily life here.
I lived in Vancouver for a year in 2009 .
I was so glad that I met a lot of nice people from different countries and made friends with them.

I have kept my Japanese blog for my family and friends in Japan ,while I lived in Vancouver.
Now I came back to Japan and decided to start this blog to let them know about my life in my hometown .

Ok.then I'll explain about above photos.
My father and I went to a restaurant which we made natural style garden before.

We go there once or twice a month and change flower pot and all in the house.
This time we decorated with red and white Camellia and a rare Christmas rose.

This is the design of our new landscaping work we are making now.

We carried this Japanese pine tree to our customer.
It was pretty bigger than the carrier of truck.

These flat stones are used for terrace.
This is import from Indonesia.

After work, I stopped by near homecenter and found this weeding tool.
I often used this type tool when I was working as gardener in Vancouver.
VERY USEFUL. I was glad to find it and bought it soon.

I was so surprised that I noticed the price list in the supermarket all went digital!
cool! Ok, Have a great week.
