在你种植的地方开花(Bloom where you are planted)
一个多世纪前,这里还是一个废弃的采石场,现在每年春天都会变成一个活生生的色轮。不列颠哥伦比亚省布伦特伍德湾的布查特花园知道如何举办一场花展。春天,郁金香在空气中散发着香味,小径上点缀着色彩,每一个转弯处都有新的花朵绽放。但事情并不总是这样。20世纪初,罗伯特·皮姆·布查特在这里经营着一个石灰石采石场。他的妻子珍妮在枯竭的坑里看到了潜力,并于1912年开始种花。现在,这座花园占地55英亩(22公顷),是900多种植物的家园,每年春天,近30万株球茎植物盛开。

What began as an abandoned quarry over a century ago now transforms into a living colour wheel each spring. Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, knows how to put on a bloom show. In spring, tulips scent the air, colour lines the paths and something new blooms around every turn. But it didn't always look this way. In the early 1900s, Robert Pim Butchart operated a limestone quarry here. His wife, Jennie, saw potential in the depleted pit and began planting flowers in 1912. Now spread across 55 acres (22 hectares), the garden is home to more than 900 plant species—and each spring, almost 300,000 bulbs bloom.
