点评:I absolutely love this place. It's fascinating and makes for a wonderful afternoon out. As this is a working nursery, it is important to remember that it is not open to the public except on Open Days or for pre-booked courses, group visits etc. I went on an Open Day.
It was necessary to book an arrival time slot at the time of buying my e-ticket. I understood why on arrival. It avoids too many people turning up all at once and the place being overcrowded. Parking was easy thanks to the staff guiding cars at the entrance.
I enjoyed an interesting tour with one of the nursery staff, learning all sorts of fun facts about the farm, the herbs and how to use them. It's worth lingering a while after the tour and taking in the scents and colours. I never knew there were so many different herbs!
I then listened to a talk by Jekka on how the farm is run. She gave some useful advice and tips on growing herbs in your own garden and I felt encouraged to have a go at some of the more unusual varieties.
It was possible to choose and purchase herbs in pots as well as seeds, books and useful things from the on-site shop. The staff were very helpful. I came away with a lot more than intended!
I would recommend Jekka's to anyone interested in starting out with herbs. The quality of the plants is exceptional and I found the prices very reasonable. My garden is now a haven of scents and useful plants where once it was a concrete, minimalist dead zone. I intend to visit again to extend my collection.
翻译:我非常喜欢这个地方。它很迷人,可以度过一个美好的下午。由于这是一个正在运营的苗圃,因此请务必记住,除了开放日或预订课程、团体参观等活动外,它不向公众开放。我去的时候是开放日。
购买电子票时必须预订到达时间段。我到达时明白了为什么。这样可以避免太多人同时出现,导致这个地方过于拥挤。由于工作人员在入口处引导车辆,停车很方便。
我和苗圃的一名工作人员一起享受了一次有趣的游览,了解了有关农场、草药及其使用方法的各种有趣事实。游览结束后,值得逗留一会儿,感受一下气味和颜色。我从来不知道有这么多不同的草药!
然后,我听了 Jekka 关于农场如何经营的演讲。她给出了一些关于在自己的花园里种植草药的有用建议和技巧,我感到很受鼓舞,想尝试一些更不寻常的品种。
可以从现场商店选择和购买盆栽药草以及种子、书籍和有用的东西。工作人员非常乐于助人。我得到的收获比预期的多得多!
我会向任何有兴趣开始种植药草的人推荐 Jekka's。植物的质量非常好,而且价格非常合理。我的花园现在是一个充满香气和有用植物的天堂,而这里曾经是一个混凝土、简约的死角。我打算再次来这里扩大我的收藏。
