点评:We came across this location on the map, looking for a place to walk in peace on a rather cloudy afternoon. The entrance was 13.50 CAD and we were welcomed by a very friendly dog in a parking lot with no entrance sign, as we were wondering if this was the right place.
Friendly girl at the entrance who advised us to walk to the last 'fountain show' of the day, at 2.45pm inspired by the fountain show at Versailles during Louis XIV, if I remember correctly:
- this is the only private owned gardens artesian show I remember to have seen around the world and although not as tall as Bellagio's in Las Vegas for example, is still well put together and lasting 6min as we were told
- from here we walked via the Temple garden to the Aviary where they have a few curious pheasants (probably because the colours of my dress) and varieties of pigeons etc
- crossing to the other side of the pond, with a bride taking pictures near a swan and an Egyptian goose, we went to the Rock garden, still well thought, Conifer, Cactus and Marsh gardens with their huge varieties of plants, bushes and flowers I have never seen in Europe despite Northern Spain, Italy, Greece sharing the same parallel as this area. If you like the above, trust me, you will be spoilt.
Plus, we hardly came across any people, so were able to walk, sit on benches and just enjoy ourselves followed by butterflies and some chipmunks. They also sell plants here but they are a bit expensive. Most surely we will return as we noticed they have new plants even in the autumn months. What a pity they are not open in the winter months, as we enjoy watching trees and bushes even when is very cold yet sunny
翻译:我们在地图上发现了这个位置,寻找一个在阴天的下午安静散步的地方。入场费为 13.50 加元,我们在一个没有入口标志的停车场受到了一只非常友好的狗的欢迎,因为我们想知道这是不是正确的地方。
入口处友好的女孩建议我们步行去看当天的最后一场“喷泉表演”,时间是下午 2.45,如果我没记错的话,灵感来自于路易十四时期凡尔赛宫的喷泉表演:
- 这是我记得在世界各地看过的唯一一场私人花园自流表演,虽然不像拉斯维加斯的贝拉吉奥 (Bellagio) 表演那么高,但仍然布置得很好,正如我们所说,持续 6 分钟
- 从这里我们穿过寺庙花园到达鸟舍,那里有一些好奇的野鸡(可能是因为我衣服的颜色)和各种鸽子等
- 穿过池塘的另一边,一位新娘在天鹅和埃及鹅附近拍照,我们去了岩石花园,仍然经过深思熟虑,针叶树、仙人掌和沼泽花园有各种各样的植物、灌木和花卉尽管西班牙北部、意大利、希腊与该地区有相同的平行线,但我在欧洲从未见过。如果你喜欢以上内容,相信我,你会被宠坏的。
另外,我们几乎没有遇到任何人,所以我们可以走路,坐在长凳上,享受自己的乐趣,后面跟着蝴蝶和一些花栗鼠。这里也卖植物,但是价格有点贵。我们肯定会回来,因为我们注意到即使在秋季,他们也有新植物。遗憾的是它们在冬季不开放,因为即使在寒冷但阳光明媚的时候我们也喜欢观赏树木和灌木丛
