点评:After seeing the good comments (including from Monty Don) printed on their flyer placed at our hotel, we drove about 45 minutes to get there. What a HUGE disappointment!
I do get it that informal gardens are just that - 'informal', but there was nothing that justified the price. It was a large unkempt area with masses of weeds and other dead plants.
There were some walkways with trees/bushes and little ponds that you could meander along but there are loads of such places in the country you could do for free!
Even the toilet available for visitors was a terrible mess - very small, cluttered and seemed like a small junk room. It had books stacked up the wall, a washing machine and all sorts of the stuff and altogether terribly unsightly!
The whole area simply looked like a terribly neglected yard with empty/broken/rusty pots and other items and a negligible amount of plants/trees/grasses/flowers to enjoy.

我明白所谓的“自然式花园”就是那种“随性而为”的风格,但那里实在没有任何值得支付如此高价的理由。那只是一片杂草丛生、杂乱无章的区域,到处都是杂草和其他枯死的植物。那里有一些种着树木和灌木的小径,还有小池塘,你可以沿着小径漫步,不过在这个国家有很多类似的地方,都可以免费前往呢!
就连供游客使用的厕所也脏乱不堪——空间极其狭窄且杂乱无章,简直就像个堆满杂物的小储藏室。墙上堆着书,还有一台洗衣机以及各种杂物,看上去实在丑陋至极!整个区域看上去就像一个严重疏于打理的庭院:到处是空的、破损的、生锈的花盆和其他杂物,而可供欣赏的植物、树木、草丛和花朵则少得可怜。
