Clumsy gardeners have been ordered to uproot a flowerbed in the middle of a roundabout in the Somerset village of Weston after residents complained it looked like a Nazi swastika

The controversial floral display sprung up in the middle of a roundabout in the sleepy Somerset town of Weston, much to the surprise of the town's 5,000 inhabitants.

North Somerset Council ordered for the offensive flowers to be removed following the controversy and the embarrassing blooms have now been given the chop.

Bungling gardeners had been asked to dig up a portion of the flower bed over the winter, but accidentally left the unfortunate design in full view of motorists and pedestrians who pass the patch daily

The council have since expressed its shock over the arrangement, while the suburb's park and garden officer moved quickly to correct the mistake.

Despite the error, North Somerset Council insist their aim is to keep all flowerbeds under their control looking 'attractive'.

'We aim to keep shrub beds clean, weed-free and to prune them to promote flowering,' claims the council's website.

'We will also replant the beds in the spring and autumn, and in some cases just for the summer season, to keep the displays looking attractive.'

The swastika came to prominence in Europe in 1930s as the symbol of the Nazi party.

I don't...

But I did realise after the thought, that it was part of your signature and believe you wouldn't really share that detail.


Would you.....?

Ha! Who knows

Okay this has gone a little off topic....

This story of reminded me of this:

Mrs. Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled. "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.'"

It is also a bit creepy when a woman's private parts are described as a ''lady garden'' too.

Good point.

I mean, how were this group of nice young men supposed to know?


They love their gardening.
