International Garden Festival
The International Garden Festival was a garden festival recognised by the International Association of Horticultural producers (AIPH)〔(AIPH Exhibitions, History ) retrieved 8 January 2011〕 and the Bureau of International Exhibitions and held in Liverpool, England from 2 May 1984 to 14 October 1984.〔(Mersey Reporter - History )〕 It was the first such event held in Britain, and became the model for several others held during the 1980s and early 1990s. The aim was to revitalise tourism and the city of Liverpool which had suffered cutbacks, and the idea came from Conservative Environment Minister Michael Heseltine.
The festival was hugely popular, attracting 3,380,000 visitors.
==The Festival==
The garden festival was held on a 950,000 square metre derelict industrial site south of Herculaneum Dock, near the Dingle and overlooking the River Mersey. On this site was built sixty individual gardens, including a Japanese garden and pagodas. A large exhibition space, the Festival Hall, formed the centrepiece of the site and housed numerous indoor exhibits.
Other attractions included a walk of fame, featuring numerous stars connected with Liverpool, and a light railway system (see below). Public artwork included the Yellow Submarine, a statue of John Lennon, a ''Blue Peter'' ship, the ''Wish You Were Here'' tourist sculpture, a red dragon slide, a large red bull sculpture〔 and ''Kissing Gate'' (by Alain Ayers).〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=October 17, 2014 )〕
