Elephants in the park - images © Jenny HaydenI decided to go for a nice long walk on Friday as the weather was glorious for this time of year. As I strolled around Brighton, where I work, I came across a whole herd of topiary elephants. It would have been impossible to miss these life size replicas, made unfortunately not from real shrubbery, but from plastic imitation foliage with the effect being no less dramatic.
They were a real talking point and prompted interactivity with walkers, onlookers, parents and children. If you had a garden big enough, one of these would be a unique addition.
The purpose of the installation of Asian Elephants is to raise awareness of a catastrophic loss of habitat taking place and you can learn more about the tour the elephants have just completed by visiting www.thesurvivaltour.org
