A farmer’s love for his late wife lives on in a heart-shaped grove of 1,000 oak trees, a stunning tribute revealed 17 years later.
In 1995, Winston Howes, a farmer in Gloucestershire, England, began a heartfelt project to honor his late wife, Janet. He planted 1,000 oak trees on his farmland, creating a serene and lasting tribute to their enduring love.
For years, the grove stood quietly as a private memorial. While appreciated by neighbors, its deeper significance remained unnoticed by most. In 2012, an aerial photograph revealed an astonishing secret: at the center of the grove was a heart-shaped clearing, perfectly positioned to point toward Janet’s childhood home.
