Steve Wheen alters potholes in east London using plants and miniatures to create natural sanctuaries in broken urban spaces. Guerrilla gardenening seems to date back to a school group in the USA some years ago and since then there have been various other similar projects. Part art project, part labor of love, part experiment, part mission to highlight how bad roads are, Wheen came up with the project as part of his university course and created his blog to log his gardening activity and take some photographs, as a creative outlet.
So locate a pothole. Till some soil. And add dash of growing color to create your very own hole of happiness. Then lurk around to capture and appreciate the astonished responses.
