点评:Arborcrest Gardens was an amazing find in Boone. We signed up for a private tour with some friends on our way to a cabin in Newland. The only requirement was a donation to their foundation. It was a cross between the Huntington gardens in Pasadena and Disneyland and is set on 25 acres of very hilly terrain. I have not seen anything like it in my life. It is the creation of a single man (with the help of a small dedicated group of workers and volunteers) who has spent the last several decades seeking out unique plants from all over the world to see if he could grow them in his garden. The gentleman driving the golf cart and expounding on each of the thousands of specimens in the garden spent a few hours with us. It was a very pleasant way to spend the morning, and the whole crew was super friendly and well informed. I am glad we drove out of our way to check it out.
翻译:Arborcrest Gardens真是我们在布恩发现的一处绝佳去处。在前往纽兰的木屋度假途中,我们和几位朋友一起预约了私人导览服务。唯一的条件就是向他们的基金会捐赠一笔款项。那里宛如帕萨迪纳的亨廷顿花园与迪士尼乐园的完美结合,整个园区占地25英亩,地形多山。我这辈子都从未见过如此特别的地方。这座花园是由一个人(在一小群热心的工作人员和志愿者的协助下)亲手打造的。过去几十年里,他一直致力于从世界各地寻觅稀有植物,试图将它们培育在自己的花园中。那位驾驶着高尔夫车、为我们逐一介绍花园里数千种植物的先生还陪我们待了几个小时。这个早晨过得十分愉快,所有工作人员都极其友善且知识渊博。我很高兴我们特意绕路去看了看。
