Lovely gardens but not the same as in 2022, we missed the opportunity to sit peacefully and take in the surroundings
Andromeda Botanic Gardens的点评
点评:We have visited the Gardens previously back in 2022 and so decided to revisit this year as part of my birthday celebrations.
I have to be honest and say it didn't quite live up to my previous visit. Firstly it was a lot busier so parking was a bit of a nightmare. (We got there fairly early, about 30 minutes after opening). On our last visit the lady who greeted us was really friendly and helpful whereas this time the cashier was a little more ambivalent.
Waling around the garden there was still plenty to see. There was a suggested route which we followed ensuring we saw everything on offer. My impression this time is that the gardens are a little short staffed particularly with regards to gardeners. There was quite a lot of dead foliage that hadn't been cleared away in certain areas.
Sharon, who we had met last time was still on site, busy giving a guided walk. Despite this she was still her friendly self and gave us a few pointers of where to see the humming birds.
We like to just sit and take in the tranquillity of a garden, listen to the birds and look out for local wildlife. There were seats strategically placed throughout but the area we had sat in last time where we could peacefully sit and watch the butterflies was no longer there which was disappointing and we failed to find another spot that could take its place.
The small cafe was shut on this visit so we were unable to stop at the ned of our visit and take a quiet moment
翻译:我们曾在2022年参观过这座花园,所以今年决定重游故地,作为我生日庆祝活动的一部分。
说实话,这次的体验不如上次。首先,人比上次多得多,停车简直是噩梦。(我们到得比较早,大概开门后30分钟左右。)上次接待我们的女士非常友好热情,而这次的收银员则显得有些冷淡。
在花园里漫步,依然有很多值得一看的地方。我们按照推荐路线游览,确保不错过任何景点。这次给我的感觉是,花园人手似乎有点不足,尤其是园丁。有些地方的枯枝落叶没有被清理干净。
上次我们遇到的莎伦还在园里,忙着带我们参观。尽管如此,她依然热情友好,还告诉我们哪里可以看到蜂鸟。
我们喜欢静静地坐在花园里,享受宁静,聆听鸟鸣,观察当地的野生动物。花园里到处都巧妙地布置了座椅,但上次我们坐过的、可以静静观赏蝴蝶的那片区域已经不在了,这让我们很失望,而且我们也没找到其他可以替代的地方。
这次来的时候,小咖啡馆关门了,所以我们没能在游览结束时停下来,享受片刻的宁静。
