It was designed , built and planted in 1986 as the first ever " Map of the World Gardens" .

【长难句解析】
1.Our inspirational gardens contain countless rare and foreign plants seldom seen outside their native lands.
【翻译】我们的花园里有数不清的稀有的来自国外的在他们自己国家里看不到的植物。
【分析】本句中含有过去分词短语seldom seen outside their native lands作为定语修饰前面的名词plants，因为两者之间存在着被动关系，使用过去分词短语做定语，相当于Which are seldom seen outside their native lands.
2. In addition ,many home-made cakes are offered, including the famous Devon Cream Teas.
【翻译】另外，还提供很多自己做的蛋糕，包括著名的Devon Cream Teas。
【分析】本句中的including是一个现在分词转换的介词“包括…”；英语中有很多动词的现在分词都转换成介词或者连词，如providing如果…。
