One thing that always amazes me is how people react to my gardens. So much so that I’ve created this short film, Holes Of Happiness (with the help of Cheyne and friends).
We tried to capture peoples first reactions to our gardening antics, and we asked them about what they were looking at and why they thought they existed.
Let me know what you think!
Keep up with my gardening antics on Facebook, youtube and Twitter!
I love the video – love hearing people’s thoughts as well as learning how you so quickly create your gardens. You’re bringing a moment of joy to so many people.
Fab! To simply create and see beauty in the middle of ugliness or just humdrum. I guess it’s a bit sad if some folk can’t lift themselves above the necessary or functional. Perhaps you’re helping some do that, Steve. Well done!

Thank you Irvin!

Your posts make my day – these are such a lovely way to cheer up our wonderful concrete jungle that is East London. Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you, you brightened up my day, just wish I could see them in situ.
Love this… although I might have picked a different title.
Fantastic!! Had to laugh at the 4 legged beasts. A green ‘Slinkachu’ http://little-people.blogspot.com/
I live out here in CA where you can fall into some pot holes :-/
I LOVE what your doing, very cheerful!!!!
I don’t know if your are the first that started this form of art and it doesn’t matter… the thing that matters the most is that you do it and you do it well! So i wish you continue showing the world that nature is art! Be well!!!

This is such a sweet idea! And a lovely video. But why didn’t you interview the squirrel?
He ran away. Next time I’ll get an interview from him for you

For years I’ve been thinking of planting balsam fir saplings in barren spaces. I always asked for permission for ones I’ve planted in the past but have wondered a great deal how this might not be necessary in some places. I feel both affirmed and inspired. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic – have shared with all my friends on facebook. More please!
I love it , it brings a little fun into what could be an otherwise humdrum day
