Eden Gardens, http://www.edengardens.com.au/, is a massive garden center, which includes a large nursery center, a shop selling indoor/outdoor garden decoration kits, books, a cafe offering meal and drinks, and large display center of designed gardens, they even provide club members few patches of squared garden, where club members can grow own plants.
The Dragonfly Cafe is a big cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, we enjoy our lunch in a outdoor design garden featuring of plants, sculpture and water fountain.
The meal was nice in quality and quantity, but unfortunately coffee was poor, I'm unable to mark it in my favourite breakfast cafe list, what a shame...
After lunch, we walk around the display gardens, it's a huge display center with different themes of garden design, such as oriental, heritage, anti-allergy, herbal, water floating...etc
We come across an area that club members can adopt a patch of land and grow their own vegetables, the gardener in Eden Gardens will water these plants regularly. While we visiting, a lady just arrives and harvests her vegetables :-)
I really like this interactive program between shop and customer.
Here are some photos of Eden Gardens to share with you,
某個空白週末, 家裡待膩了, 之前看部落格 "雪梨的天空 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/emmaho" 介紹過 Eden Gardens, 於是兩人車去那裡吃午餐加閒逛.
這個花圃真是意外的大, 用完午餐之後, 閒逛花園, 苗圃加園藝用品店, 竟花了快兩個小時...
這裡除了大, 還可在餐食跟園內設施裡體會出商家用心經營的心意, 餐點不因為是附屬營業項目而簡陋處理, 大面積的展示各種不同主題花園設計, 而非擺滿各種待售盆花. 除此之外, 業者還提供數塊小園圃供會員種植蔬果, 並定時幫忙灑水, 業者與消費者的互動真是做到淋漓盡致...
