Garden
The presenters also maintain the famous Blue Peter Garden, adjacent to Television Centre, which was designed by Percy Thrower. Its features include an Italian sunken garden with a pond, which contains goldfish, a vegetable patch, greenhouse and viewing platform. The 2000 Blue Peter time capsule, which is due to be dug up in 2029, is buried there.[8] George the Tortoise was interred in the garden following his death in 2004, and there is also a bust of Petra, sculptures of Mabel and the Blue Peter ship, and a plaque in honour of Percy Thrower. The garden is also available to other programmes for outside broadcasts, and is often used for the links between children's programmes during the summer months and for BBC One's Breakfast weather broadcasts. On 21st November 1983, the garden was vandalised, leading to an on-air appeal for viewers to come forward with information � which now often appears on clip shows. A rumour circulated in the early 1990s that the vandalism had been carried out by a gang including the footballers Dennis Wise and Les Ferdinand when they were teenagers.[9] Both men have denied direct involvement in the actual vandalism, although Ferdinand did later confess to "helping a few people over the wall."[10] Later still, however, Ferdinand claimed that this admission of involvement had merely been a joke, and that he had not been involved at all.[11]
