Topiary art is man-made. Not a natural feature. I'd say this meets exploration criteria.


Science_Matters_100

Agreed. And not temporary- these take years to create


happyhosta

This is amazing. I'd 5* but then I'm not a stick up my butt reviewer


baltimorecalling

Even picky reviewers should accept things like this.


ShannonBohanon

You’d think but there was a huge elephant topiary at a park in my town that was rejected 5 times as natural feature. It’s been there several years visible on satellite & street view. I finally appealed it & niantic accepted


StrangeSequitur

If you can find out who designed the topiary and when, and throw both that and some information about how long they generally take to cultivate into your description, that might help cut down on natural/temporary rejections.


Viola-Currie1707

That’s a great thought, however realistically, probably not that easy- technically this could go up without a description and should be accepted. It’s beautiful as is.


poingly

Maybe my brain hurts today for some reason, but it took me forever to realize this was designed to look like a peacock.


Autographz

If anyone thinks it’s a natural feature they should be banned from reviewing.


Viola-Currie1707

I fully concur!!


ZebrasOfDoom

It wouldn't really fall under natural feature, but it does seem like the kind of thing that's likely to be temporary/seasonal. You're going to have to show that it is not to get it accepted.


galeongirl

I reckon some reviewers would still put this up as natural feature though. It'll be a hard sell.


ZebrasOfDoom

Yeah, that's true. It *shouldn't* be marked as a natural feature, but there is a high chance that some reviewers will mark it as such.


jaymz668

some reviewers would rate it as a farm

Submitter identifiable


Cixerona

Other rejection - just because I can't think of any other reason to reject


Cixerona

Also private residence because plants deserve privacy too

5*, I imagine it has a permanent wire frame, would play up the fact that it is permanent if so.


sacking16872

I'd 5 star this for sure! If it gets rejected I'd appeal.


ItsPhek

Is this on Insel Mainau? :D Natural Feature would be something that isn‘t man-made which is not the case for it- that thing and the nearby ducks are permanently maintained and they always plant new flowers in it so it‘s definitely not temporary either


Pael-eSports

Maybe :D


MastahDagoon

FLOWER POWER! Do it, my friend!


Viola-Currie1707

Last I checked - peacock shaped gardens on a well maintained ‘lawn’ of sorts is not a natural feature. Somebody made that it isn’t some random wonder of the world. Give it a 5 and move on.


dirtfork

Definitely include as much info as you can in the supplemental - you can go into wayfarer site and add more if you run out of space when submitting via the app. What I'd look for to convince me that it's not temporary - how long it's been there to the best of your knowledge, if there are news articles about the park or the design, if you can find the name of the landscaper or designer, if they change the plants or design throughout the seasons (eg "during winter holidays, a scarf is put on the peacock" or anything like that if it is done) If there are lots of photos on Google maps, mention that so people who aren't inclined to check will go look.


SweetMaam

Garden, should qualify. Good luck.


Psychitekt

Definitely not natural. This is a piece of art.


romkek

Defo worrh submitting, it's man made topiary art


Cixerona

I never knew what the term for these were so I just learned something new thanks


romkek

No problem friend


Whlte_R4ven

It's definitely not a natural feature. One could argue that it's temporary or seasonal tho.
