点评:We visited on the hottest day of the year on the basis that there was woodland which would be shady. Just after reception we met a lovely volunteer called David who offered to give us a tour of the gardens keeping to the shade. We had a delightful hour going around the various garden rooms which are based on seasons of the year. David is very knowledgeable but at the same time kept things sufficiently light for our amateur brains and also bearing in mind the considerable heat in the early to mid thirties. The gardens are beautiful and genuinely interesting. We didn’t see everything so will be back in the winter to visit the winter gardens which are nationally acclaimed and also the house. The property does snow drop and daffodil tours too so we will keep a look out on their website. Currently sitting in the air conditioned cafe with a cold drink. Thanks David for a great tour!
翻译:我们选在一年中最热的一天前来参观,因为听说那里有树林可以遮阳。刚到达接待处,我们就遇到了一位名叫大卫的可爱志愿者,他主动提出带我们沿着阴凉处游览花园。在接下来的一个小时里,我们尽情欣赏了这些以一年四季为主题的各个花园区域。大卫知识渊博,但同时又能用轻松易懂的方式为我们这些外行讲解,还特意顾及到当时30度左右的酷热天气。这里的花园美丽动人且极具观赏价值。由于时间有限我们未能参观全部景点,所以打算冬天再来,看看荣获全国声誉的冬季花园以及那座庄园。该庄园还提供雪花莲和水仙花观赏之旅,我们会密切关注其官方网站以获取相关信息。此刻我正坐在有空调的咖啡馆里,喝着冰饮。感谢大卫带我们进行了一次很棒的游览!
