The Great Opunake Yarn Bomb

The magical creatures

The magnolias’ aroma had awoken the magical creatures. The smell of mashed up bananas and vanilla ice cream left them rather hungry. They knew not of the outside world. As their gates were rather high and their stone walls had jagged edges, restraining them from leaving.

They awoke only once a year and slept through the rest. Through storms and snow, they were never harmed. The thick dark green ivy wrapped tightly around the walls. They would use this to shelter themselves from any treacherous weather, through the months that they slept.

Old folk law said they came from big old wooden ships from China. As a good luck charm to keep King Edward Park safe and happy.

And to always keep the gardens full of blossom!
