'Sign of Hope' in York Museum Gardens
It's to cheer visitors up during lockdown.
A 'Sign of Hope' has been put up in York Museum Gardens to cheer people up during lockdown.
The sign will display positive comments, thoughts and quotes - with visitors encouraged to send their own ideas in on social media.
There'll also be a display of coloured pebbles in the Storytelling Area of the gardens, which people can drop off after painting at home.
Fiona Burton, public engagement manager, said: “We know that during lockdown York Museum Gardens becomes an even more important space for York residents to exercise in beautiful surroundings.
"We wanted to highlight on our social media the first signs nature gives us that spring and change are on the way, for people to spot when they’re on their daily walk. We also hope to enhance people’s enjoyment of the Gardens in two small ways, by offering a few words which may raise a laugh or a smile or by creating the opportunity for people to get creative and help us make a colourful display of pebbles."
