Pothole Gardens

Wouldn't you just run over the flowers?

Temporary beauty

What a great way to save your car.

It seems like a waste of resources to me.  If you put the garden in  a planter (even a coffee can) on the curb, it would last longer and cheer more people.  Here, you waste the plant, the soil & the energy it took to grow it in a hot house.  It also makes more work for the road crews who will have to empty the pot hole before they repair it.  This just sounds like a publicity scheme.

Wow, lighten up out there. He is an artist, people. Artists make beauty (and yes, statements too sometimes). I know if I lived in a neighborhood prone to potholes that may never get filled, it would make me happy to see a little thing of beauty like this pop up, even if it's just temporary.

I have a farmette, and a lot of cement between buildings(work shop, barns) for trucks and tractors to drive through. There was a small hole in one area, and a friend planted some squash seeds in it to see what would happen. Well, it absolutely thrived and spread out over a large area . I picked about 5 very large yellow squashes off one plant, and shared with my children who live elswhere,and the friend. A fun thing to see!
