The Wet Patch was formally opened to mark the start of September
A new lake has been opened at Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm, and it is shaped like a vulva. The pond, called Vulva Lake or The Wet Patch, has been created with a charity in a bid to spark conversation.
The Wet Patch was formally opened at the beginning of Gynaecological Awareness Month in partnership with the Lady Garden Foundation.
A spokesman said most people ‘know diddly squat about gynae cancers’. Throughout September, customers visiting the Diddly Squat Farm shop will have the opportunity to make a donation with each purchase, directly supporting the work of the Lady Garden Foundation.
Every day, 21 women in the UK will die from gynaecological cancers, and 60 more will receive the life-changing news of a gynaecological cancer diagnosis. Many cases of cervical, ovarian, vomb, vulval and vaginal cancer are preventable and the Lady Garden Foundation is on a mission to save lives.
The Lady Garden Foundation is an organisation tackling gynaecological cancers. Founded in 2014, the charity initially funded ground-breaking research into the treatment of the five cancers at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. Over the last ten years, the Lady Garden Foundation has developed a year-round programme of annual events, wide-reaching education programmes, high-impact awareness campaigns and on-going funding for a host of cutting-edge research projects with global impact.
Diddly Squat Farm is the farm owned by British TV presenter, journalist, and writer Jeremy Clarkson, best known from Top Gear and The Grand Tour. Located in Chipping Norton, in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, the farm is about 1,000 acres.
Clarkson opened the Diddly Squat Farm Shop in 2020, selling produce from the farm and local goods. The farm is the setting for the Amazon Prime series “Clarkson’s Farm” (first released in 2021), which follows Clarkson as he attempts to run the farm with little prior farming experience.
