点评:On one of the first days in Windhoek, we walked from our apartment to theses gardens. They are located on the hill behind the Hilton Hotel. They were interesting as much for the variety of indigenous plants as for the insect and birdlife. We were watching out for snakes as they like to bask in the early morning warmth of the footpaths, but none appeared. Saw bee-eaters, lovebirds, starlings, wagtails and Pririt Batis plus some enormous wasps! From the top of the Garden you can see all the way across the valley to the east.
We were also fortunate to meet Gerhart, the Director of the Botanical Research facility attached to the gardens. He answered all our questions and explained the research they are working on.
The walk to the gardens was eventful too as there were plenty of birds and there are Dassies in the rocks below the road too. Well worth the time spent!

我们还有幸见到了花园附属植物研究设施的主任格哈特。他回答了我们所有的问题并解释了他们正在进行的研究。
去花园的步行路程也很热闹,因为有很多鸟,路下的岩石里也有黛西。非常值得花时间!
