点评:We visited in late November, so obviously there wasn’t anything blooming then.
The fountain is pretty, but not very picturesque at that time of year.
What made the visit still worth it was Lilidorei (I’ve written a separate review for that) and the Poison Garden.
The Poison Garden is completely fenced in and you can only go inside during a guided tour (free with garden admission). I timed it just right and was able to join a tour shortly after they started. I’m not sure what her name was, but we had an excellent guide. We got to see the plants and hear about how they were poisonous. The guide had pictures to show us of what they look like blooming. A few of the plants were even in cages for safety reasons. We got to hear some stories of murderers who used the poisons to kill their victims, some fairly recently. It was a fascinating tour.
Alnwick Garden also had a nice gift shop and very clean restrooms.
翻译:我们是在十一月底去的,所以那时当然没有什么花盛开。
喷泉很漂亮,但在那个季节并不怎么赏心悦目。
让这次旅行仍然不虚此行的是百合花花园(我为此单独写了一篇评论)和毒药花园。
毒药花园完全被围栏围住,只能在导览游的带领下进入(包含在花园门票内)。我时间安排得刚刚好,赶上了导览游刚开始不久。我不记得导游叫什么名字了,但她非常棒。我们看到了各种植物,也听到了它们有毒的原理。导游还给我们看了它们开花时的照片。出于安全考虑,有些植物甚至被放在了笼子里。我们还听到了一些凶手用这些毒药杀害受害者的故事,其中一些案件就发生在不久前。这是一次引人入胜的参观。
阿尼克花园还有一个不错的礼品店和非常干净的洗手间。
