Farmer plants heart-shaped meadow for late wife
A devoted farmer painstakingly planted a tribute to his
late wife, Janet, using 6,000 oak trees to etch out a giant heart in
the middle of his field in South Gloucestershire, England. Howes, 70,
and a gardener spent weeks planning and setting out each oak after his
wife died suddenly 15 years ago. He planted the fledgling trees across a
six-acre field after carefully marking out a heart shape in one half of
the grass, with the heart pointing in the direction of her childhood
home. The stunning crop was captured in its full beauty after a
balloonist sailed over the farmhouse and photographed the field from the
air.
