Wallace and Gromit

It's hard to believe, but later this year it will be 30 years since Wallace and Gromit first appeared on our TV screens. To celebrate this the gardeners at Homestead Park in York have produced another impressive special garden, with various Wallace and Gromit characters incorporated into the flower displays.

The first of these special gardens was created in 2014, to mark the centenary of the First World War. Since then we have had a display each year, with displays about bees, Lord of the Rings, Winnie the Pooh and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (see http://365project.org/fishers/365/2016-07-26 ).

Interesting characters and finding them on display in a garden tells how popular they were/are.

Homestead Park is one of the best maintained parks that I know. It is owned, managed and maintained by Joseph Rowntree Foundation. It was previously the garden of the home of Seebohm Rowntree, one of the members of the Rowntree confectionary family.
