点评:We visited during a trip to Northumberland, having found it in the Gardeners' World 2 for 1 booklet.
It's difficult to know where to start. We were the only visitors. The owner met us in the car park and explained that, as she had stopped using pesticides and membrane, the paths were grassed and some beds needed weeding. Armed with our laminated map we set off. What a disappointment! The gardens are sadly and badly neglected; everywhere is overgrown and garden structures are falling apart. The 'plant sales' area looks like it is returning to the wild.
I wish we'd read the Tripadvisor reviews before we visited. It seems that, using a wide range of excuses/explanations this has been the case for many years. It's sad to see that this garden has got so far out of hand and is too much for the owner, but it needs a reality check and certainly needs removing from any further Gardeners' World promotions.
翻译:我们在诺森伯兰郡旅行时参观了这里,是在《园丁世界》买一送一小册子上找到的。
很难知道从哪里开始。我们是唯一的游客。主人在停车场迎接我们,并解释说,由于她已经停止使用杀虫剂和薄膜,所以小路上长满了草,有些花坛需要除草。我们拿着塑封地图出发了。真是令人失望!花园严重荒废,令人伤心;到处都是杂草丛生,花园结构正在崩塌。“植物销售”区看起来像是又回到了野外。
我希望我们在参观之前读过 Tripadvisor 上的评论。看来,这种情况已经持续了很多年,人们用各种各样的借口/解释来解释。很遗憾看到这个花园已经失控到这种程度,对主人来说太过分了,但它需要认清现实,并且绝对需要从《园丁世界》的任何进一步宣传中移除。
