A Garden Safari 1 花园旅行 William: And we’re looking at something very different from the last garden and it’s a sort of a Chinese-themed part of your garden. Can you tell us a little bit about it? Jane: Well, I decided 2 I’d put a Chinese area into my garden about 15, 16 years ago. So I looked at pictures and tried to build a Chinese area and put it together. William: And I know that some of these sort of Chinese elements you actually bought in England, but some of them you bought in China, didn’t you? Jane: Yes, I bought the hat back from China and the abacus 3 I bought in China. William: And can you tell me a little bit about this chap here? Pam: This is our scarecrow. He’s quite a strange looking chap isn’t he? William: Is it a chap? It looks like it might be a lady. Pam: No, it’s definitely a chap, he’s got a beard. William: Oh yeah. Pam: Yes. I decided to actually display him in the garden this year. We’ve had a number of pigeons that have been attacking some of the vegetable crops and he’s doing his job trying to keep them away. William: He looks like he’s enjoying it anyway! Pam: Thank you. William: Ok, so I’ve got off my bike at the final destination of my garden safari and there’s something special about this garden. And that is that it belongs to my mother, Sandra Kremer. Hi Mum. Sandra: Hello. William: And I’ve just been round all the other gardens in Horsell and you’ve got… Sandra: This is the best! William: I was going to say, you’ve got some competition! Sandra: Well, I can quite believe it, yes. William: Have you had a busy day? Sandra: We’ve had a very busy day. It’s been steady I suppose you could say. We opened at twelve, and we’ve had about 230 people.
