点评:Greeted enthusiastically by two U of A student staff and had already prepaid our tickets. A quiet early Monday, we started at peaceful Kurimoto Japanese Garden, then onto Aga Khan (big cascading waterfall not running today). Alpine Garden made us feel at home but somehow missed the Maze, then the ESSO Oil Woodbend #120 exhibit (profound stats!), rose garden getting cared for by volunteers (?), and Indigenous Garden complete c Jason Carter’s art statue of Grandfather Sun. The collections area was also quite interesting: very impressed overall how each plant was well identified with easily visualized signage. The David Thomson house was a bonus c Welsh history and Potager’s Garden fascinating. Brick path work and masonry stone work incredible.
翻译:两位阿萨巴斯卡大学的学生工作人员热情地迎接了我们,他们还提前帮我们付好了门票费用。周一清晨,四周静悄悄的,我们从宁静的栗本日本花园开始游览,随后前往阿迦汗花园(今天并没有看到那道大型的瀑布)。高山植物园给人一种宾至如归的感觉,不过不知为何我们没找到迷宫区;接着我们参观了埃索石油公司举办的Woodbend #120展览(其中的数据资料真是令人印象深刻!)。玫瑰园则由志愿者们悉心照料着;最后我们还参观了原住民花园,那里有杰森·卡特创作的“太阳祖父”艺术雕像,十分完整且引人注目。收藏区也相当有趣:每栽种物的标识都十分清晰明确,标识牌也易于辨认,这一点给我留下了深刻印象。大卫·汤姆森故居让我们对威尔士历史有了更多了解,而菜园本身也令人着迷。砖砌小径与石砌工艺更是堪称绝妙。
