A lovely garden - and I loved seeing the Shuttleworth collection of old planes, cars etc too
Swiss Garden, Old Warden的点评
点评:While attending a course on Garden History recently, and hearing about the 'Picturesque' period, I felt I should visit the Swiss Garden. I'm a regular visitor to Switzerland, and confess the Swiss Chalet at the garden's centre is quite unlike anything I've ever seen on my travels, but I can quite understand how appealing the 'ups and downs' of the garden's mounds, dips, ponds, rivers etc would have been at its time of creation - as it still is today. Even in November, the planting looked delightful, and I'd certainly like to return in spring or summer to appreciate more colour.
As for the Shuttleworth Collection, in which I had no initial interest, it exceeded all expectations! I was most impressed at reading the background (much of which is presented by volunteers) to most of the planes, cars, motorbikes etc, and at hearing that many of the planes are 'ready to fly', some of which have featured in various Bollywood movies, and in the tv series Mr Selfridge!
Certainly worth a return visit!
翻译:最近参加花园历史课程时,听说“风景如画”时期,我觉得我应该参观瑞士花园。我是瑞士的常客,承认花园中心的瑞士木屋与我在旅行中见过的任何东西都不一样,但我很能理解花园的丘陵、低谷的“起伏”有多么吸引人,池塘,河流等在其创建时就已经存在-就像今天一样。即使在 11 月,种植的植物看起来也很漂亮,我当然想在春天或夏天回来欣赏更多的颜色。
至于我最初没有兴趣的Shuttleworth Collection,它超出了所有人的预期!给我印象最深的是阅读了大多数飞机、汽车、摩托车等的背景(其中大部分是由志愿者提供的),并听到许多飞机“准备好飞行”,其中一些飞机在各种场合都有特色宝莱坞电影,以及电视剧《塞尔弗里奇先生》!
当然值得回访!
