点评:My wife and I are members of the National Trust, so entry to this garden is included in our yearly subscription. The overall experience was wonderful with a particular highlight being the winter garden section. The fragrance from Daphne and Sarcococca was intense. The garden is famous for its Laburnum Arch; while we were far too early in the year to see this in flower, we were able to talk to the gardeners who were pruning the laburnums and tying them in to the arch. The gardens are big enough that we got a bit lost at one point. It wasn't a problem: we just kept walking until we spotted a landmark we recognised and then carried on. Our visit lasted about two and a half hours; we didn't see many other visitors while we were walking around, but I guess this is due to the time of year. We had several long conversations with members of staff who were well informed about the garden and its contents. We had a lovely time
翻译:我和妻子都是国民信托的会员,所以参观这座花园包含在我们每年的会员费里。整体体验非常棒,尤其令人印象深刻的是冬季花园区。瑞香和野冬青的香气浓郁扑鼻。花园里最著名的景点是金链花拱门;虽然我们去的时候还太早,没能看到金链花盛开,但我们还是有机会和正在修剪金链花并将其绑在拱门上的园丁们聊了聊。花园很大,我们一度迷路了。不过这倒不是什么问题:我们一直走,直到看到一个熟悉的标志性建筑,然后继续前行。我们游览了大约两个半小时;在游览过程中,我们没遇到多少其他游客,我想这可能是因为季节的原因吧。我们和几位工作人员进行了长时间的交谈,他们对花园及其植物都非常了解。我们度过了一段美好的时光。
