点评:A friend and I visited Kevin's magical garden at Coolwater, Co Limerick this week. We didn't know quite what to expect. We were given a lovely personal tour. We saw some extremely rare plants that came from all corners of the globe. Each plant came with its own story that was so entertaining to listen to. An ordinary half acre plot has been developed into a wonderful oasis.
Kevin has repurposed so many items and given them a second life. Friends from lots of different countries have given him plants knowing that they will be well loved and looked after.
For me, the best bit was the huge pond he created. There were huge dragonflies zooming about everywhere. He told us that there are plenty of newts and frogs too but they stayed hidden.
I'd highly recommend a visit. It was a very hot day when we went and Kevin got insect repellent and an umbrella to use as a sunshade which was so kind. We also had refreshments at the end. Thanks Kevin. We will be back to visit in a different season.

凯文将许多物品重新利用,赋予了它们第二次生命。来自世界各地的朋友们都送给他植物,因为他们知道这些植物一定会得到悉心照料与爱护。
对我而言,最棒的就是他亲手打造的那个大池塘。到处都有巨大的蜻蜓飞来飞去。他告诉我们池塘里还有很多蝾螈和青蛙,不过它们都藏起来了。
我强烈推荐大家去参观。我们去的那天天气非常炎热,凯文还特意准备了驱虫剂和雨伞当作遮阳伞,真是体贴入微。最后我们还享用了茶点。谢谢凯文。我们会在其他季节再来参观的。
