点评:This woodland/wildflower garden sequestered in a residential neighborhood (at 1964 Fairfield Road) offers an uncrowded, unique garden experience – blending natural & enhanced landscapes into an artistic tapestry. Native ferns and Garry Oaks dazzle, along with the Gargantuan rhododendrons snaking skyward, tranquil lily ponds reflecting darting dragonflies, lichen-splotched boulders warming slender lizards & wizened Bonsai trees, & eye-catching flowers brightening footpaths that serenely circle to secluded resting spots. Definitely a place to slow your pace, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Nature.
Street-side parking is limited, but you can park on side streets, and easily walk to the garden entryway – where there may be several tables with native plants or tulip bulbs for sale. Admission is by donation, and a friendly volunteer will greet you, & provide a flyer for your self-guided walking tour.
We enjoyed two hours wandering around – photographing the flowers & wild birds (over 20 species noted there); and talking to other visitors, as well as chatting with the very knowledgeable, volunteer garden staff. When we visited in September, the Golden-crowned Kinglets & Anna’s Hummingbirds were most enchanting! At the Summerhouse, be sure to browse through the wonderful photo books that identify (by season) so many of the featured flowers & trees.
And don’t forget to look in the eloquent Gift Shop by the Teahouse. Our favorite were the handcrafted porcelain pins of cats & dogs – with “22-carat gold lustre”, created by artist Winnie Tam.
In 2000, The Land Conservancy of British Columbia acquired Abkhazi Garden “to protect this local treasure” – which is truly a memorable Victoria experience, off the beaten path, and not to be missed!
翻译:这个林地/野花园位于住宅区(位于费尔菲尔德路 1964 号),提供不拥挤的独特花园体验 - 将自然和美化的景观融合成一幅艺术挂毯。原生蕨类植物和加里橡树令人眼花缭乱,还有蜿蜒向上的巨大杜鹃花、倒映着飞来飞去的蜻蜓的宁静百合池、长满地衣的巨石温暖着纤细的蜥蜴和枯萎的盆景树,还有引人注目的花朵照亮了宁静地绕向僻静休息点的人行道。绝对是一个放慢脚步,沉浸在大自然宁静之中的地方。
街边停车位有限,但您可以将车停在小街上,然后轻松步行到花园入口 - 那里可能有几张桌子出售原生植物或郁金香球根。门票是捐款,友好的志愿者会迎接您,并为您的自助步行游览提供传单。
我们享受了两个小时的漫步——拍摄花朵和野鸟(超过 20 种);与其他游客交谈,以及与知识渊博的志愿者花园工作人员聊天。当我们在九月参观时,金冠戴菊和安娜蜂鸟是最迷人的!在凉亭,一定要浏览精美的相册,这些相册按季节标识了许多特色花卉和树木。
别忘了看看茶馆旁边的礼品店。我们最喜欢的是手工制作的猫和狗瓷别针——带有“22 克拉黄金光泽”,由艺术家 Winnie Tam 创作。
2000 年,不列颠哥伦比亚省土地保护协会收购了阿布哈齐花园“以保护这个当地宝藏”——这确实是一次难忘的维多利亚体验,与众不同,不容错过!
