A peaceful and beautiful way to get away from the area's frantic congestion
San Diego Botanic Garden的点评
点评:I've found that botanical gardens fall between unkempt (natural) and pristine (like museum pieces), and this one firmly falls halfway between the two extremes. Located a half hour north of San Diego (just close enough for me to consider it within the San Diego metro area), it was worth the drive and the two hours I spent exploring its grounds.
Be prepared for some walking- placed on the side of a hill, reaching most of the garden's various areas will require some degree of hiking up paved (and sometimes gravel) paths. Slow and careful exploring rewards the curious with waterfalls, colorful foliage, and herb and succulent gardens. I visited towards the end of a partially cloudy day, and wished for less cloud cover as well as time earlier in the day to have avoided the setting sun. I will repeat next time in the area, hopefully with better weather and timing.
翻译:我发现植物园介于蓬乱(自然)和原始(如博物馆藏品)之间,而这个植物园恰好介于两个极端之间。它位于圣地亚哥以北半小时车程处(刚好足够近,足以让我将其视为圣地亚哥都会区),值得我开车和花两个小时探索它的场地。
做好步行的准备——位于山坡上,到达花园的大部分不同区域将需要一定程度的徒步沿着铺砌的(有时是砾石)小路。缓慢而仔细的探索会给好奇者带来瀑布、色彩缤纷的树叶、药草和多肉花园的奖励。我是在部分多云的日子快结束时参观的,希望云层能少一些,并且时间能早一些,以避免落日。下次我会在该地区重复,希望有更好的天气和时间。
