点评:We combined a visit to the specialist plant fair, the gardens, a tour of the hall and lunch at the cafe.
We bought a few plants from the fair that was just a nice size. We thought the gardens were absolutely stunning with beautiful planting, especially in the central section in front of the conservatory. Our only regret was not going up The Mound to get a better look over the top of the gardens, as two friends have since told me that we should have done that. Maybe more signage could be around there to encourage people to go up?
The hall tour was really interesting and led by Sarah, who was very knowledgeable.
Our final stop was at the cafe, where the queue, at 2pm, was only half way down the building. I realise it was an extra busy day for the cafe but maybe there could have been some extra mobile catering units around to provide for people who just wanted a sandwich and a cold drink? We enjoyed our coffee, on arrival, from the mobile coffee van near the plant fair.
A gorgeous place to visit, we had a wonderful day.
翻译:我们把参观植物展销会、花园、大厅参观和在咖啡馆吃午餐结合起来了。
我们在展销会上买了几盆大小合适的植物。我们觉得花园美极了,植物搭配得非常漂亮,尤其是温室前面的中央区域。我们唯一的遗憾是没有登上小山丘,从那里可以更好地俯瞰花园,因为后来有两个朋友告诉我我们应该上去看看。也许应该在那里多设置一些指示牌,鼓励人们上去看看?
大厅参观非常有趣,由知识渊博的莎拉带领。
我们的最后一站是咖啡馆,下午两点的时候,队伍只排到了大楼的一半。我知道那天咖啡馆特别忙,但也许可以多安排一些流动餐车,为那些只想吃三明治和冷饮的人提供服务?我们到达时,在植物展销会附近的流动咖啡车上买了咖啡,味道很棒。
这是一个非常值得一游的地方,我们度过了美好的一天。
