The man who plants flowers in potholes




Guerrilla gardener Steve Wheen is transforming ugly and dangerous road potholes in London into mini spring showcases.


Quote from the article:

Cyclist Steve Wheen decided to plant cyclamen, narcissus and polyanthus in the holes after becoming fed up with the state of roads.



The 33-year-old’s green do-gooding is proving popular as his website – www.thepotholegardener.com – has had 25,000 hits in its first month.

‘I’m a mad keen gardener but I live in a small flat without a garden,’ said Mr Wheen, from Shoreditch, east London.
