点评:This is one of the best gardens I have visited, it just got better the further we explored.
After a good coffee in the restaurant we set off to explore the gardens which just got better with every turn, and the views increased the higher we went.
There are a number of different area within the garden each with a varying planting scheme, quite different in the valley by the stream compared to some of the hot dryer ledges and slopes further up. The leaflet suggested to allow 90 minutes to explore the gardens, we were nearly three hours enjoying ourselves, and I think we still missed a few hidden corners.
For me the plants were the stars of the show, (and worth the entry price alone), the sculptures were an added bonus - some we liked, some less so - I did enjoy the 'wall of taps'.
We visited the gallery, which personally I thought underwhelming, and then looked into the gift and plant shop which had a great selection of plants and succulents.
If we lived locally we would certainly visit here a couple of times a year as there is so much to see.
翻译:这是我参观过的最好的花园之一,越往里走,感觉越棒。
在餐厅喝完一杯好咖啡后,我们出发探索花园,每转一圈,景色就更加迷人,而且我们越往上走,视野也越来越开阔。
花园里有很多不同的区域,每个区域的植物布局都各不相同,溪流旁的山谷与更远处一些炎热干燥的岩架和斜坡相比,感觉截然不同。宣传单上建议留出90分钟来探索花园,我们玩了将近三个小时,感觉玩得非常开心,但我觉得我们还是错过了一些隐藏的角落。
对我来说,植物才是亮点(光是植物就值回票价了),雕塑则是额外的惊喜——有些我们喜欢,有些则不太喜欢——我很喜欢“水龙头墙”。
我们参观了画廊,我个人觉得没什么特别的,然后去了礼品店和植物商店,那里有很多种类的植物和多肉植物。
如果我们住在当地,我们肯定会每年来这里几次,因为这里有很多值得参观的地方。
