With Siberian temperatures outside, I cannot help thinking about the nasty potholes that will undoubtedly surface all over the city come spring. If you are like myself fortunate enough to live in Munich, these will be fixed and smoothed out in no time – they even sweep the gravel off the pavements in April with Bavarian efficiency. Apparently this is not the case in London, even less so in the East End. That’s how Steve Wheen came up with the charming idea of turning potholes into bonsai gardens, perfectly equipped with matching miniature accessories. Check out the video and try not to be distracted by the rather unfortunate title “Holes of Happiness”…
