点评:It was our wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something different. I found Coolwater Garden online and booked our visit. We enjoyed a relaxing morning with Kevin at Coolwater Garden sharing loads of stories, plant and garden history. Coolwater is a home garden that is apart of the RHS Garden partner. He mainly started the garden upon retirement and turned it into a beautiful space of tranquility. There are native plants, those from all around the world including couple extremely rare, red listed plants. When Kevin found out I was from California he sent me home with a little piece of home via a Santa Catalina plant.
A good 2 hours is needed to truly appreciate the garden and admission is €15 and cash only. The garden is open nearly year round and is by appointment only. At the end of our tour, we sat by the pond and enjoyed a cup of tea, biscuits and buns.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a novice (like me), or simply looking for a lovely morning out, Coolwater Garden is definitely worth a visit.
翻译:那天是我们的结婚纪念日,我们想做点不一样的事情。我在网上找到了Coolwater Garden,并预约了参观。我们在Coolwater Garden度过了一个轻松的早晨,和Kevin分享了很多故事、植物和花园的历史。Coolwater是皇家园艺学会花园合作伙伴旗下的一个家庭花园。他主要是在退休后才开始建造这个花园,并把它变成了一个美丽宁静的空间。花园里种植着来自世界各地的本土植物,其中包括一些极为珍稀的红色名录植物。Kevin得知我来自加州后,特意送了我一盆圣卡塔利娜植物,让我感受到家乡的温暖。
想要真正欣赏这座花园,需要足足两个小时,门票15欧元,只收现金。花园几乎全年开放,并且只接受预约。参观结束后,我们坐在池塘边,享用了一杯茶、饼干和面包。
无论您是经验丰富的园艺爱好者,还是像我一样的新手,或者只是想享受一个美好的早晨,Coolwater Garden都绝对值得一游。
