A beautiful garden, restaurant, and staff well worth visiting!
Andromeda Botanic Gardens的点评
点评：I could not describe a more wonderful location and experience than with Sharon and her staff at the beautiful Andromeda Botanical Gardens. On our 1 day stop as a part of our cruise, my husband, an avid amateur "botanist" and lover of plants and gardening, and I chose to make the sometimes harrowing trek to Andromeda Gardens rather than to some of the more well known botanical gardens on the island. And we were glad we did.
Because our time was short, we planned our itinerary on the island far in advance as to not have any trip ups in our limited stay in Barbados. Communication with Sharon, the custodian and curator, was easy and helpful, and we opted to reserve the Curator's Tour to make the most of our stay and to reduce the stress of getting there and back. Though it may seem as if the BD$400+ for two people with transport may seem pricey, it was worth every penny.
Sharon arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the cruise port to transport us to the garden. Knowing we had another tour set up in town after the garden, she also set up for the same taxi to pick us up later and drop us there. Lunch from the on-site Eastside Kitchen was also included. Because we were coming on Ash Wednesday and we were not allowed to eat meat (fish was ok), Sharon made sure a viable option was made available. And let me tell you, it was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip! The barracuda was so delicious, the breadfruit and salad, tasty and refreshing, and the lemonade could have been bottled and sold for a fortune.
The care and love Sharon has for Iris Bannochie’s Gardens was quickly evident. Her spunky attitude was infectious as we strolled through the Gardens and her obvious knowledge shown brightly. She was so mindful of my husband's cane and the slippery paths, but quickly adjusted when we told her we had hiked more challenging trails in our world travels. She told us about the 70 year history of the Gardens, described her journey as caretaker, and showed us every flower, plant, bush, and tree while telling us extensively everything about all of them. She explained her wants to continue bringing more inclusivity by making improvements to accommodate those with both physical and mental disabilities along with including the community to help with creating these changes, gave an extensive and colorful history of interesting points to the garden like the origin of the bricks and walking stones on the paths, discussed students from Arizona State coming to build structures for garden improvement, creating a special area for milkweed and the many butterflies of the garden, and so much more. For a smaller 8 acre garden, there is so much packed in and so much more to come in its bright and beautiful future!
We cannot recommend going to Andromeda Botanical Gardens enough and we truly hope that we will be able to return in the future.

翻译：我无法形容与 Sharon 和她的员工一起游览美丽的仙女座植物园的美妙体验。在我们游轮的一日游中，我和我的丈夫（一位狂热的业余“植物学家”和植物与园艺爱好者）选择了有时令人心惊胆战的仙女座植物园之旅，而不是岛上一些更知名的植物园。我们很高兴我们这么做了。
由于时间紧迫，我们提前计划了岛上的行程，以便在我们在巴巴多斯的短暂停留中不出现任何意外。与管理员兼策展人 Sharon 的沟通很轻松，也很有帮助，我们选择预订策展人之旅，以充分利用我们的逗留时间，减少往返的压力。虽然两个人加上交通费 400 多巴哥元似乎有点贵，但每一分钱都是值得的。
Sharon 安排了一辆出租车从邮轮港口接我们，送我们去花园。她知道我们在参观完花园后还要在城里安排另一趟旅行，所以她还安排了同一辆出租车稍后来接我们，送我们去花园。午餐也包括在现场 Eastside Kitchen 提供的午餐。因为我们是在圣灰星期三来的，不允许吃肉（鱼可以吃），所以 Sharon 确保我们能吃到可行食物。让我告诉你，这是我们整个旅程中吃到的最好的一顿饭！梭鱼非常美味，面包果和沙拉美味又清爽，柠檬水可以装瓶卖一大笔钱。
Sharon 对 Iris Bannochie 花园的关心和热爱很快就显现出来。当我们漫步在花园中时，她活泼的态度感染了我们，她显然知识渊博。她非常在意我丈夫的手杖和湿滑的小路，但当我们告诉她我们在环球旅行中徒步走过更具挑战性的小径时，她很快就适应了。她向我们讲述了花园 70 年的历史，描述了她作为管理员的历程，向我们展示了每一种花、植物、灌木和树木，并向我们详细介绍了它们。她解释说，她希望继续通过改进来容纳身体和精神残疾的人，同时让社区参与到这些变化中，从而带来更多的包容性，并讲述了花园的有趣之处，比如小路上砖块和步行石的起源，讨论了亚利桑那州立大学的学生来建造花园改进结构，为马利筋和花园中的许多蝴蝶创建一个特殊区域，等等。对于一个较小的 8 英亩花园来说，它有如此多的东西，在它光明而美丽的未来中还有更多的东西！
我们强烈推荐您去仙女座植物园，我们真心希望将来能够再来。
