点评:We are fairly new to southwest Florida and we’re trying get out and see more of what’s here. As luck would have it, we heard about this Botanical Garden and how they have days when entry is free, for two people, if you have a library card. My wife has a card and we went for a visit. The garden itself is set off in a somewhat rural part of Naples, but just minutes from busy Naples. Plenty of free parking and easy drop off/pick up of those with mobility issues. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they rented powered scooters for $14 and it made for a much better visit for my wife. Most of the paths are concrete or paved, a few with sand or gravel. It was an extremely hot day on our visit, but the tall trees, arbors and buildings provided shade and places to sit and relax. There are so many flowers and plants to see. There’s a babbling brook, a lake, a lily pond, a cactus garden, an orchid center, so much. There are names tags by almost every plant. The magic of cell phones and Google Lens provides quick access to information on any plant. We were looking for ideas for our own garden and we got all we needed here. It’s not a huge garden, but very relaxing to walk around, take endless pictures and grab a snack at the Cafe. We will go back again I’m sure.
翻译:我们刚搬到佛罗里达州西南部不久,正努力多出去走走,看看这里有什么好玩的。真是幸运,我们听说了这个植物园,而且听说只要有借书证,就可以免费入园两天,两人同行。我妻子正好有借书证,所以我们就去参观了。植物园位于那不勒斯一个相对乡村的区域,但距离繁华的那不勒斯市中心只有几分钟的路程。这里有充足的免费停车位,而且方便行动不便的游客上下车。让我们惊喜的是,他们还提供电动代步车租赁服务,价格是14美元,这让妻子的游览体验更加轻松。园内大部分道路都是水泥路或铺好的,只有少数是沙路或碎石路。我们去的那天天气非常炎热,但高大的树木、凉亭和建筑物提供了阴凉,也提供了可以坐下来休息的地方。园内有数不胜数的鲜花和植物可供观赏。这里有潺潺的小溪、湖泊、睡莲池、仙人掌园、兰花中心等等,应有尽有。几乎每株植物旁都挂着标签。手机和谷歌镜头的神奇功能让我们能够快速获取任何植物的信息。我们当时正在为自己的花园寻找灵感,而这里满足了我们所有的需求。花园虽然不大,但漫步其中,拍下无数照片,再到咖啡馆享用小吃,感觉非常惬意。我们一定会再次光临。
