Beautiful but would benefit from plant labelling, directional signs and a little more TLC for certain areas!
East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden的点评
点评：Visited these gardens yesterday.
The entry price was £13 per person. There was no concessions for seniors. Children, (I think) £2.
There was no map included in this price and the guidebook which did have a map was an additional £5.
Dogs were not allowed!
Taking your own food, also not allowed.
I was a little apprehensive about visiting a garden at the end of the season, when most plants are not at their best, however there was still plenty of colour in these gardens.
This attraction is vast and had some beautiful manicured areas, although there was also a lot of areas needing some TLC, which were tatty and quite unkempt.
Lots of areas had weeds, dead and dying growth. Overgrown shrubs and plants which overhung the walkways.
There were lots of fallen and rotting apples, as some fruit looked more than ready for picking.
Plants were not visibly labelled, although the owners claim that there are labels which have been covered up by the ‘overgrown’ plants which is not really much good to the visiting public, who have an interest in the plants they’re seeing.
I asked one gardener about a plant which was smothered with bees, but she didn’t know what it was. So I had to go in search of another gardener to ask.
Other ornamental gardens we’ve visited have all had discreet but still visible plant labelling.
There was also a distinct lack of directional signs. We didn’t know which paths to take in order to make the most of the different areas. We saw some areas several times and completely missed others.
At one point I really needed the toilet. It took us quite some time to find someone to ask and to find our way back to the only block of toilets in the gardens, as there are NO TOILET SIGNS apart from the sign directly outside the lavatory.
The trees are so tall, the cafe and toilet roof tops are not visible, to be able to find your way back. (toilets are near the entrance).
Once we did find them, we found them to be very basic but clean and serviceable.
The food in the cafe is expensive. My husband had a cheese salad with a decent chunk of cheddar, but the salad comprised of a what I’d describe as a green leaf ‘garnish’, a handful of halved cherry tomatoes and a spoon of cold slaw.
I had a ham salad with even less green leaf ‘garnish’, the same few tomatoes and a small teaspoon of cold slaw. Both came with a small baguette. These were just under £10 each!
There is ample parking, so I would suggest taking a picnic with you to eat in the car.
If you’re disabled and in a wheelchair, or you have a pushchair, you may find it difficult to get around all areas. They do have a disabled toilet.
The staff are friendly and overall, the gardens are very pretty. There are areas with an impressive view, where you can look down a manicured lawn with a peep hole at the end, revealing the landscape beyond, where you can see a church through one and a lighthouse through another.
I would give this attraction a far higher mark if there was good signage, plant labelling and if the food was either more affordable or better value for money.

翻译：昨天参观了这些花园。
入场费是每人 13 英镑。老年人没有优惠。儿童（我认为）2 英镑。
这个价格不包括地图，有地图的指南需要额外支付 5 英镑。
不允许带狗！
也不允许自带食物。
我有点担心在季末参观花园，那时大多数植物都不是处于最佳状态，但这些花园仍然色彩缤纷。
这个景点很大，有一些修剪整齐的美丽区域，但也有很多需要精心打理的区域，这些区域破旧不堪，相当凌乱。
很多地方都有杂草、枯死的植物。过度生长的灌木和植物悬在人行道上。
有很多掉落和腐烂的苹果，因为有些水果看起来已经可以采摘了。
植物上没有明显的标签，尽管业主声称标签被“过度生长”的植物覆盖了，这对参观者来说并不好，因为他们对所见的植物很感兴趣。
我问过一位园丁一株被蜜蜂窒息的植物，但她不知道那是什么。所以我不得不去找另一位园丁问。
我们参观过的其他观赏花园都有不显眼但仍然可见的植物标签。
也明显缺乏方向标志。我们不知道要走哪条路才能充分利用不同的区域。我们看到了几次一些区域，完全错过了其他区域。
有一次我真的需要上厕所。我们花了很长时间才找到人问，并找到了回到花园里唯一一排厕所的路，因为除了厕所外面的标志外，没有其他厕所标志。
树木太高，看不到咖啡馆和厕所的屋顶，所以找不到回去的路。（厕所在入口附近）。
我们找到它们后，发现它们非常简陋，但干净且实用。
咖啡馆的食物很贵。我丈夫吃了一份奶酪沙拉，上面有一大块切达干酪，但沙拉里有我所说的绿叶“装饰”，一把切半的樱桃番茄和一勺凉拌卷心菜。
我吃了一份火腿沙拉，绿叶“装饰”更少，同样的几个番茄和一小茶匙凉拌卷心菜。两者都配有一个小法棍面包。每个不到 10 英镑！
停车位充足，所以我建议你带上野餐，在车里吃。
如果你是残疾人，坐在轮椅上，或者你有婴儿车，你可能会发现很难到处走动。他们确实有一个残疾人厕所。
工作人员很友好，总的来说，花园非常漂亮。有些地方的景色令人印象深刻，你可以俯瞰修剪整齐的草坪，草坪尽头有一个窥视孔，可以看到远处的风景，你可以透过其中一个窥视孔看到教堂，透过另一个窥视孔看到灯塔。
如果这个景点有好的标识、植物标签，而且食物更便宜或更物有所值，我会给它更高的分数。
