the Information Centre
Pear Alley

the Mulberry Garden
Now, please look at the map I've given you of the house and gardens. We're here at the Information Centre. Follow the path marked with the arrow and the first area you come to is the orchard on your left. As you go further down the path, there's the kitchen garden on the right and as you go round the first sharp corner you will find, to your left, an area where different types of pear tree have been planted as well as some lovely flowers, and this is known as Pear Alley - designed by George himself. Next to this is the greenhouse where some exotic plants and fruits are grown. Follow the path round the second corner and on your right you will see the entrance to the Mulberry Garden with its 500-year-old tree. Past the Mulberry Garden, follow the path until you reach the front of the house. I suggest you spend a good hour wandering around this lovely building. A guide takes visitor groups round every two hours.
现在,请看我给你们发的屋和花园的地图。我们现在在信息中心。沿着标有箭头的小路往前走,你到达的第一片区域便是在你左边的果园。 沿着小路继续往前走,你会在右边看到家庭菜园。当你走到第一个急拐弯处,会在左边看到第一块地,那里种着各种各样的梨树和一些可爱的花卉。这就是乔治亲手设计的梨树巷。 在它的旁边就温室,那里有奇异的植物和水果。沿着小路到第二个拐弯处,你会在右边看到桑葚园的入口,里边有树龄为500年的树。经过桑葚园,一直沿着小路走知道你来到房子的前边。我建议你花一个小时来在这个可爱的建筑周围漫步。每两个小时,导游会带着旅游团来参观。
