Pot Hole Gardens





Pot hole gardens by Pete Dungey who said about his work,

"If we planted one of those in every hole, it would be like a forest in the road."

An ongoing series of public installations highlighting the problem of surface imperfections on Britain's roads.

I was thinking if we did this project on 54th street in Minneapolis and then took an aerial photo there would be more flowers than asphalt. It would be pretty, but wouldn't make it any easier to drive. As much as you don't want to hit pot holes because they'll damage your car you wouldn't want to run over flowers because you'd damage the flower. I guess conditions are just as bad in Britain.
