晚清派往西方国家及日本考察的官员及外交官走马观花似的见识了外国园艺。他们看到当时先进的温室设备,园艺作物的优良品种,当时在国内难以见到甚至从未见到过的佳果、奇花、异卉,还见识了异域风格的园林艺术。 In the late Qing Dynasty, officials and diplomats sent to Western countries and Japan for inspection paid a flirtatious visit to foreign gardening. They saw the advanced greenhouse equipment and excellent varieties of horticultural crops at that time. At that time, they found it difficult to see the best fruits, exotic flowers and exotic flowers they had never seen before in the country. They also saw the exotic garden art.
