It's wonderful to see so many people here today, as water conservation gardening is quite suitable for our dry climate in Southern California. 00:01:01,320 In a few minutes, you can take the self-guided tour, but first, let me give you a brief orientation. 00:01:10,480 If this is your first visit, be sure to stop by the Plant Care Center. Many gardeners worry about trimming the branches of their rose bushes properly, so we're giving free demonstrations today. You can put on some garden gloves and practice making the proper cuts to keep your rose bushes healthy and beautiful. 00:01:35,420 These demonstrations are led by the pros that teach our regular gardening class. 00:01:42,580 While parents are getting their lesson, kids can pick up a complimentary packet of ladybugs to set free in their garden at home. They can also learn how to make hummingbird food. 00:01:58,040 Guidebooks are available here too and are not expensive. 00:02:03,920 Now, before I give you the overview of the gardens and the café area, please remember we're always looking for volunteers. This time of year, as we approach our busiest season, we really need help in the Plant Care Center, and we can always use volunteer tour guides. 00:02:28,440 This is another great way to help the community. 00:02:33,070 There are volunteers in the gift shop as well as the café, but at present we're fully staffed in both those areas. And don't let me forget, some office helpers will be needed after the busy season. And if you decide you'd like to join our volunteer team, please fill out an interest form in the gift shop. 00:03:00,260 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions fifteen to twenty. 00:03:36,300 Now listen and answer questions fifteen to twenty. 00:03:43,640 Now I'll highlight the gardens you can walk through today. 00:03:47,880 Each garden is named for one of the people who've helped design and maintain these grounds. The oldest and most popular garden exhibit is the Murray Garden. This beautiful, fragrant garden showcases the natural beauty of the area, as every plant is indigenous, meaning local to this region. And the most beautiful aspect of all these wild homegrown plants is that they are easy to grow in your own backyard. 00:04:23,900 The Benson Garden has plants that are not local to the area, although they do grow well in our Southern Californian climate. 00:04:33,540 This beautiful exhibit showcases plants from different parts of the world that grow very well in our climate with its very low rainfall, without any need for watering or irrigation. 00:04:48,980 Then there is the Smith Garden. 00:04:52,280 Everything grown in the Smith Garden can be eaten. You'll see fruits, vegetables, and standard garden herbs, not just to look at, but good to eat too. You'll also find tips to keep the local wildlife away, so they won't devour your efforts. For those who struggle with the question of grass, which grass is best and how to care for it, make sure you stop by the Nunez Garden. This educational exhibit showcases seven types of grasses and their varying soil and water requirements. You'll also see innovative alternatives to the typical grass yard, including meadow grass and other types of ground cover in case you're looking to replace that thirsty lawn with something more water-wise. The educational exhibits continue in the Scanlan Garden. In this garden, you can see how food scraps and other organic waste materials can be composted and turned into fertilizer. There are demonstrations, and volunteers are on hand to answer questions about enriching your soil, maximizing water retention, and feeding your plants. Children will especially love the worm compost bin. 00:06:30,100 One final exhibit I want to mention is the Savioli Garden. This garden combines features from all the other gardens to demonstrate how a water-wise garden can be planted to showcase a single beautiful hue, in this case, white. 00:06:51,140 The factor that ties the whole garden together as a whole is the color. 00:06:58,460 Now, the doors to your left take you into the... 00:07:06,040 That is the end of part two. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part two. ## 题目与答案 ### 11-12. Which TWO things are available without charge at the plant care centre today?
