The Pothole Gardener

The mini gardens were created in London, where they are called pothole gardens. The gardens are a project by Steve Wheen, The Pothole Gardener, a resident of London who wanted to create little moments of joy in the grey city. He stimulates the imagination of passers-by with his miniature gardens. Fun detail: some gardens are decorated with miniature items of furniture.
