点评:Visiting Andromeda Botanical Gardens was one of the highlights of my 12 day trip to Barbados. The place crated by the amazing and inspirational Iris Bannochie - a wonder women of horticulture- is a truly enchanting paradise and one of the most beautifully designed gardens I’ve seen. I was glad to revisit after a couple of days, as the ticket allows for multiple visits. Every visit took around 45 to 60 min at a slow pace, admiring so many tropical specimens of plants from all over the world. There’s also a nice little cafe/bar where I enjoyed a refreshing cocktail at the end. Iris truly made a unique and lasting contribution to the preservation and promotion of horticulture by creating this place, that also has a fascinating story behind it, as I’ve learned from one of the books I bought on site. A real gem not to be missed when on Barbados!
翻译:参观仙女座植物园是我12天巴巴多斯之旅的亮点之一。这里由园艺界的奇才Iris Bannochie一手打造,宛如一个令人叹为观止的世外桃源,也是我见过的设计最精美的花园之一。我很高兴几天后再次造访,因为这张票可以多次参观。每次参观大约需要45到60分钟,节奏悠闲,欣赏着来自世界各地的众多热带植物标本。植物园里还有一家很不错的小咖啡馆/酒吧,我最后在那里享用了一杯清爽的鸡尾酒。Iris创建了这个地方,为园艺的保护和推广做出了独特而持久的贡献,而它背后还有一个引人入胜的故事,我从现场买的一本书中了解到了这一点。这绝对是巴巴多斯之旅不容错过的瑰宝!
