大家好，我是 Philippa Ostenbrink。

I'm head gardener at Warmer Castle in Kent.

我是 Warmer Castle 肯特區的總園丁。

Autumn has started here, and I'd love to show you some of my favorite autumn plants.

這裡的秋天已經開始了，我很想帶你們看看我最喜歡的幾種秋季植物。

Warmer Castle was built in 1539 when they built this defensive moat all around it as well.

Warmer Castle 建於 1539 年，當時他們也在周圍建造了這條防禦性的護城河。

It wasn't until William Pitt became Lord Warren that it was planted up with trees and shrubs.

直到 William Pitt 成為 Lord Warren，這裡才開始種植樹木和灌木。

And one of my favorite plants in here for autumn is the beautiful Virginia creeper, which turns a bright red in autumn.

在這裡，我最喜歡的秋季植物之一就是美麗的 Virginia creeper，它在秋天會變成鮮紅色。

We're now in the kitchen garden, which is the oldest part of the garden, and

我們現在在菜園裡，這是花園最古老的部分，

has been growing produce for the castle since the early 1700s.

自 1700 年代初期以來，這裡就一直在為城堡種植農產品。

Nowadays, we still use the produce in our own tea rooms, and

如今，我們仍在自家的茶館使用這些農產品，而且

秋天的時候，我們會種很多南瓜。

And here are some of the pumpkins that we use for that.

這些就是我們用來做南瓜湯的南瓜。

This is one of the pumpkins that we would use in our pumpkin soup in the tea room.

這就是我們會在茶館的南瓜湯裡使用的其中一種南瓜。

But another one on this display, which isn't edible is this swan gourd with this beautiful neck.

但展示架上的另一種，也就是這個葫蘆瓜，牠的脖子很漂亮，但不能吃。

And I think that's the most stunning one here, really.

我認為這絕對是這裡最令人驚豔的一種了。

We're now in the Broad Walk, which was originally designed in the 1860s, but

我們現在在 Broad Walk，它最初是在 1860 年代設計的，

changed into perennial borders in the 1920s by Old Beecham.

但在 1920 年代由 Old Beecham 改成了宿根花壇。

And one of the favorite plants in here for me is this hardy sunflower.

在這裡我最喜歡的植物之一就是這株堅韌向日葵。

It's got these beautiful thready leaves, really thin leaves, all throughout the summer.

它有這些美麗的細長葉子，非常細的葉子，整個夏天都有。

And then very, very late in autumn, late September, it'll start producing all these lovely yellow flowers there.

然後在秋天非常非常晚的時候，九月下旬，它就會開始開出所有這些可愛的黃色花朵。

This is another one of my favourite plants in these borders.

這是花壇裡另一個我非常喜歡的植物。

It's a dahlia and it's a dark leaf dahlia.

這是一株大麗花，而且是深葉大麗花。

So it comes up with almost black leaves, and

所以它會長出近乎黑色的葉子，然後

then it starts flowering sort of July time, and until the first frost.

大約七月開始開花，一直開到第一次霜凍。

So these flowers will last for quite a long time.

所以這些花可以持續很長一段時間。

And the contrast between the black leaves and the red flowers as well is just very stunning.

而且黑色葉子和紅色花朵的對比也非常令人驚豔。

We're now in the Queen Mother's garden, which was originally designed by Penelope Hob House, and

我們現在在英國女王母親花園，它最初是由 Penelope Hob House 設計的，

it was for the Queen Mothers, who was Lord Warden at Warmer Castle at the time, for her 95th birthday.

而且是為了當時在 Warmer Castle 擔任總督的女王母親，為她的 95 歲生日準備的。

We still have the original Penelope Hobhouse designs.

我們仍然保留著 Penelope Hobhouse 最初的設計。

So one thing that we're doing is we are putting the original plants back into these borders.

所以我們正在做的一件事就是把原始的植物放回這些花壇裡。

One of the plants that she put in here was this Salvia oligonosa, and

其中一種她種在這裡的植物是 Salvia oligonosa，

it just has this beautiful bright blue flower, and

它開出了美麗明亮的藍色花朵，

it just shows that in autumn it doesn't just have to be oranges and reds and everything, but

這證明瞭秋天不一定要有橘色、紅色等等，

you can also have beautiful bright blues.

We're now in the Glen, which was originally a chalk pit, but

我們現在在 Glen，這裡原本是個採石場，

it was turned into a garden by Lady Hester Stanhope as part of the pleasure grounds around Warmer Castle, and

但它被 Lady Hester Stanhope 改建成花園，是 Warmer Castle 周圍遊樂區的一部分，

And walking through the woodlands, you've got lots and lots of shrubs that have beautiful autumn color as well.

走在林地裡，你會看到很多灌木也有美麗的秋天色彩。

So we've got things like the amelanchia or the guelder rose or spindle trees that get these bright pink and red and yellow leaves all throughout autumn as well.

所以我們有像amelanchia、歐洲雪球或盤架樹這類的植物，它們的葉子在整個秋天都會變成明亮的粉紅、紅色和黃色。

I love the sounds and the smells that come with autumn and one of my favorite sounds is the crunching of the leaves under your feet as you walk through the woodland.

我喜歡秋天伴隨而來的聲音和氣味，我最喜歡的聲音之一就是走在林地裡時，腳下踩到落葉發出的沙沙聲。

Another autumn flowering plant is this pretty little Cyclamen hederifolium.

另一種秋天開花的植物是這種可愛的小麗葉秋海棠。

It will start flowering in late summer and carries on probably until about November time.

它會在夏末開始開花，可能會一直持續到十一月左右。
