点评:Despite visiting Monteviot when clearly not at its best I was pleasantly surprised and pleased by most areas of this garden with the exception of a few minor exceptions / pointers as follows:
- In the Garden of Persistent Imagination, unless it would cause a Health & Safety issue, it is suggested that dry stone walling is used instead of concreted stone walling. Dry-stone walling ages much better.
- Plant acers instead of firs in the garden 'rooms'.
- Clear algae & duck weed from Water Garden ... not much point is seen in putting seats out for views of a stagnant(?) pond choked with duck weed & algae.
- Also, more work and thought needs putting into the layout of the Water Garden.
- Would advise only using older, perfumed roses.
- It would be great if a .pdf copy of the garden map could be downloaded from the Monteviot website.
Otherwise, Monteviot is definitely a garden to watch and well worth visiting.
翻译:虽然去蒙特维奥特花园时它的状态显然不算最佳,但我还是惊喜地发现花园的大部分区域都相当不错,只有以下几点需要稍作改进:
- 在“恒久创意花园”中,除非会引发健康与安全问题,否则建议采用干石砌墙法来替代混凝土石墙。干石墙的观赏效果会随时间而更好。
- 在花园的各个区域,应种植槭树而非冷杉。
- 需清除水景园中的藻类及浮萍。……在这样一个满是浮萍与藻类、毫无生气的池塘旁设置观景座椅似乎没什么意义。
另外,水景花园的布局还需要进一步斟酌与完善。
建议只种植那些年代较久、带有芳香味的玫瑰品种。
如果能在蒙特维奥特的网站上提供花园地图的PDF版本供人下载,那就太好了。
总的来说,蒙特维奥特绝对是一个值得关注的花园,也非常值得一游。
