Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Wraxall has unveiled its biggest and most colourful pumpkin harvest to date – celebrated with the potentially record-breaking jumbo mosaic.
The annual pumpkin harvest is a tradition born six years ago when pumpkins were found unexpectedly growing on the elephant muck heap after the Zoo’s bachelor group of African elephants enjoyed the seasonal treats as part of their enrichment programme.
From those first surprise sprouts, a dedicated pumpkin patch was created, using elephant poo as a unique fertiliser.
