点评:Absolutely beautiful, huge gardens with so much to enjoy. We were constantly spotting vistas and views as we walked around, and exclaiming about interesting plants and trees. If we lived nearby we'd definitely buy a membership as there's just too much to take in on one visit. There are sections of the garden dedicated to specific plant or tree types, as well as more formal areas, water features and open areas. We stayed about 4 hours by which time we needed a break from walking! (Thankfully there are a couple of options for food and drinks to choose from.)
As a non-dog-owning couple it was a refreshing change to be somewhere that doesn't allow dogs. Even on a busy sunny Sunday in May there was so much space that it never felt crowded. We arrived at opening time, which was great for easily getting parked and getting started on our walk around before the rush of visitors later. There are a few child-friendly features but they're tastefully incorporated with natural materials and the emphasis remains on it being a place for peace and nature.
All the staff were friendly and helpful. We're planning to visit again in different seasons as it's clear that the planting is designed for year-round appeal.
翻译:花园美得令人窒息,面积巨大,处处皆是美景。我们漫步其中,不断发现新的景致,对各种有趣的植物和树木赞叹不已。如果我们住在附近,一定会办张会员卡,因为一次游览实在太过精彩。花园里有专门种植特定植物或树木的区域,也有较为正式的景观区、水景和开阔的草坪。我们逛了大约四个小时,走累了才停下来休息一下!(幸好花园里有几家餐饮店可供选择。)作为一对不养狗的夫妇,能来到一个不允许带狗的地方真是令人耳目一新。即使是五月一个阳光明媚的周日,这里也十分宽敞,丝毫没有拥挤的感觉。我们一开门就到了,这样停车很方便,可以在之后游客高峰到来之前开始漫步。花园里有一些适合儿童的设施,但都巧妙地融入了天然材料,整体氛围依然是宁静祥和、亲近自然的好去处。
所有工作人员都非常友好热情,乐于助人。我们计划在不同的季节再次参观,因为很明显,这里的植物种植是为了全年都具有吸引力而设计的。
