点评:Driving down the tucked away lane to the car park there is a peaceful energy that surrounds the whole place. The gardens are well tended and stunning. Some areas are a work in progress but whose garden isn’t?! The glass house is gorgeous and the peach tree inside was already laden with fruit. The head gardener and gardeners were all friendly and happy to chat and talk plants!
Other staff and volunteers were all lovely too. Toilets were immaculate and cleaned regularly.
We visited on a scorching hot day and were offered free fans, there were misting machines and parasols over the cafe tables, with water freely available. The cafe did great food, simple and well done. A good selection of strong plants to buy at reasonable prices, estate lamb (which my friend bought and said was delicious), and honey from the estate bees. Book your tickets and go before Gardeners World visit and everyone else discovers this hidden gem! PS if you haven’t been for a few years, visit again because much more of the garden has been opened up and huge efforts have gone into making it even more lovely and it looks so mature, even newly planted areas.
翻译:沿着隐蔽的小路驶入停车场,整个地方都弥漫着宁静祥和的气息。花园维护得当,美不胜收。有些地方还在建设中,但哪个花园不是如此呢?!温室美轮美奂,里面的桃树已经挂满了果实。首席园丁和园丁们都非常友善,乐于与人聊天,谈论植物!
其他工作人员和志愿者也都非常可爱。洗手间干净整洁,定期清洁。
我们是在酷热难耐的一天去的,园方免费提供风扇,咖啡桌上方还配备了喷雾器和遮阳伞,并免费提供饮用水。咖啡馆的食物很棒,简单却美味。这里出售各种价格合理的健壮植物,还有庄园自产的羊肉(我的朋友买了,她说味道鲜美),以及庄园自产的蜂蜜。赶紧订票,赶在园艺世界开放之前去参观,别让其他人发现这颗隐藏的宝石! PS:如果您已经几年没来过了,请再来参观,因为花园的更多区域已经开放,并且投入了大量精力使其变得更加美丽,看起来非常成熟,即使是新种植的区域也是如此。
