点评:booked for Bloms tulip festival over May bank holiday weekend - and attended on Sunday afternoon. our first choice had been for Monday but it was fully booked. Our first time at this venue but have attended the tulip festival at Pashley Manor in 2023. Parking on very soft ground protected with metal mats made this accessible and temporary paving areas covered the vast muddy field making it much safer to walk on. Guides at the start scanned our tickets and explained the layout of the gardens and event.
We decided as it was mid afternoon to have something to eat first so headed to the marquee with catering. Enjoyed quiche with salad - ordered tea with meal but it didn't arrive. when requested, a drink looking black more like black coffee arrived so queried whether it was tea and when the waitress returned, told it was tea. it wasn't very pleasant - so strong and stewed. however the lunch with potato salad, coleslaw and salad was fine.
Returned to the gardens to the wildflower meadow, then around the ponds then into the tulip areas. although some had clearly taken a battering with recent rain/wind, they were still wonderful in their colours, groupings amongst camellias, and other flowers. the costumes on display from Royal Shakespeare theatre, card sales and marquees displaying Bloms bulbs to order showed the vast array and variety of tulips from this award winning grower.
Having ordered bulbs for many years from them (originally via Malvern show then catalogues) they are always reliable for delightful blooms. Leaving in the afternoon after seeing everything was well organised with parking monitors/road traffic operators displaying stop/go signage as the road was closed for the public. all in all, a well organised and worthwhile visit.
翻译:预订了 5 月银行假日周末的 Bloms 郁金香节 - 并于周日下午参加。我们最初选择的是周一,但已经订满了。这是我们第一次来这个场地,但我们参加了 2023 年在 Pashley Manor 举行的郁金香节。停车场位于非常柔软的地面上,用金属垫保护,方便通行,临时铺装区域覆盖了广阔的泥泞场地,使行走更加安全。开始的导游扫描了我们的票,并解释了花园和活动的布局。
我们决定先吃点东西,因为当时是下午,所以去了有餐饮的大帐篷。享用了带沙拉的乳蛋饼 - 点了茶和餐,但没有送来。当我们要求时,一种看起来更像黑咖啡的黑色饮料送来了,所以询问是不是茶,当女服务员回来时,告诉我们是茶。味道不太好 - 太浓了,而且炖了。不过,午餐有土豆沙拉、凉拌卷心菜和沙拉,还不错。
回到花园,来到野花草甸,然后绕过池塘,然后进入郁金香区。虽然有些花明显受到了最近的雨水/风的侵袭,但它们的颜色、山茶花和其他花朵的簇拥仍然很美。皇家莎士比亚剧院展出的服装、卡片销售和展示 Bloms 球茎的帐篷展示了这家屡获殊荣的种植商提供的各种郁金香。
多年来我一直向他们订购球茎(最初是通过马尔文秀,然后是通过目录),他们总是能开出令人愉悦的花朵。下午离开时,看到一切都井然有序,停车监视器/道路交通操作员显示停车/通行标志,因为道路不对公众开放。总而言之,这是一次组织良好、值得一游的访问。
