Have you ever seen such ingenuity? Pete Dungey created a spectacular little wolrd by planting little " guerrellia" gardens in Britain's neglected potholes.
One such passerby remarked, "f we planted one of those in every hole, it would be like a forest in the road".
It makes me think, if we attack a problem with a negative attitude, how much change can we really bring, how much credibility do we bring to ourselves?
Another artist, Steve Wheen, showcases his pothole gardens in London, on his blog, The Pothole Garden. His interview is simple and insightful. It's wonderful when little cultural ideas take off like that.
More interesting gardens can be seen here.
Oh, I didn't realize what they were at first! So cool!
ReplyDeleteI saw these on TV somewhere the other day and was thrilled with the idea - what a magic way to cheer up annoying potholes. People will be able to avoid them easily if there's a pansy sticking out the top :o) Elle xox
ReplyDeleteOh I think that is so neat...makes me want to do that here. In fact, I know of one street that would be a little forest indeed if these pothole gardens were planted on it.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this before and I loved it! haha So creative &fun :)
