Visit to Ayrlies an historic property that IS a must to see in North Island New Zealand
Ayrlies Garden & Wetlands的点评
点评:I visited Ayrlies a large country garden owned by Beverley McConnell since 1964 located at Whitford, Auckland whilst on tour with Perennial Poppies Inc. a Queensland, Australia based Garden Club The garden was created from bare paddocks and said to be a ‘living work of art’, and it did not disappoint. Time to allow for your visit should be a whole day. It is vast and has many areas to explore including a wetland area and amazingly a ‘Valley of the Giants’ a grove of Californian Redwoods. We were offered a catered visit including tea & coffee with scrumptious morsels to keep our energy high. You really need to wander slowly, and even choose a place to sit and just breathe. This is a garden that has something for everyone. I personally loved the inclusion of so much water. Cascades of water were plentiful and loud!
No photos of pretties were taken (though there were many), because the landscape was purely overwhelming.
翻译:我在与位于澳大利亚昆士兰的花园俱乐部 Perennial Poppies Inc. 一起巡演时,参观了位于奥克兰惠特福德的大型乡村花园 Ayrlies,该花园自 1964 年以来由 Beverley McConnell 所有。该花园由光秃秃的围场改造而成,被称为“活着的艺术品”,它没有让人失望。游览时间应该为一整天。花园面积广阔,有许多区域可供探索,包括湿地和令人惊叹的“巨人谷”,一片加州红杉树林。他们为我们提供了餐饮服务,包括茶和咖啡以及可口的食物,以保持我们的精力充沛。你真的需要慢慢漫步,甚至选择一个地方坐下来呼吸。这个花园适合每个人。我个人很喜欢花园里有这么多水。瀑布数量众多,声音响亮!
没有拍到美景(虽然有很多),因为风景实在太震撼了。
