点评:Lovely woodland walk, but the entire Island is full of forests one can walk for free. Yes, there is a variety of native plants, but very little summer colour for August. No hanging baskets, no seasonal flower borders with annuals or perennials in the front yard or at the house, no bright inviting flower display at the entrance turning into the property, nothing at the gift shop other than a few flowering trees at the gates to the pool and water lilies. I expected to see flowers, bright brilliant colour throughout our walk. When I think of Veronica's Garden and her lovely paintings, I think plentiful seasonal flowers adorning at least the grounds around her home. I found this property was sadly lacking the beauty that obviously filled her heart. Indigenous plants do have their own beauty but when they are spent, I think to give the garden some appeal one should have complimenting blooming alternatives especially when you're charging for people to see a garden. My daughter and I were disappointed after seeing other gardens on the island and we noticed that there were more eye catching displays around the town than there were in a venue billing itself as a garden.
翻译:林间小道很漂亮,但整个岛都是森林,可以免费漫步。是的,这里有各种各样的本土植物,但对于八月份来说,夏天的色彩很少。没有吊篮,前院或房子里没有一年生或多年生的季节性花境,房子的入口处没有鲜艳诱人的花卉展示,礼品店里除了游泳池门口的几棵开花的树和睡莲外什么也没有。我以为在整个散步过程中都会看到鲜花和鲜艳的色彩。当我想到维罗妮卡的花园和她可爱的画作时,我想到至少有丰富的时令鲜花装点着她家周围的土地。我发现这地方很遗憾地缺乏那种显然充满她内心的美。本土植物确实有它们自己的美,但是当它们凋谢时,我认为为了让花园有一些吸引力,应该有一些与之相配的开花选择,尤其是当你要收费让人们参观花园的时候。我和女儿在参观了岛上的其他花园后感到很失望,我们注意到,城镇周围的展示比自称是花园的场所的展示还要引人注目。
