Congratulations!

Just a quick note to say congratulations to the winners of the Mothers day vouchers I blogged about recently.

Lucy Allen, Liz Ixer and Renee Walker will all be getting some flowers delivered courtesy of Interflora later this week. Thank you Interflora for supporting the pothole gardener!

I know I haven’t posted any gardens recently, sadly my bike was stolen so I’ve been out of action. But don’t worry, I’m currently creating some new gardens so stay tuned :)

 

Sunshine!

My latest creation to celebrate the recent sunshine!

The recent amazing sunshine inspired my latest little garden.

It seems pothole gardens are popping up everywhere, check these awesome pictures just in from Latvia, Riga here! Great stuff! (I do apologize for previously saying it was in Russia!)

So in today’s wonderful, wonderful sunshine I came across this little pothole in the middle of Seward Street.

Here are some pictures from the dig…(I was alone so no work in progress shots!)

On my way home, I found this beauty just off Commercial Street. Stay tuned for my next installment…

My next victim...

The seeds have been planted!

This week’s sunshine has finally inspired me to get bloggin about my gardening adventures!

What is ‘The Pot Hole Gardener’ all about then? Well it’s a combination of things. My neighbourhood has a disctinct lack of green space; I’m a gardener with no garden. I want to spruce up my ‘hood, be it for just a few colouful moments. After almost falling over walking home with my shopping thanks to a well placed pothole, I’m making it my mission to highlight how crap our roads and footpaths are.

This is a project that’s part creative persuit, part passion and part urban experiment.

Inspired by the Geurilla Gardening gurus, I’m trying to srpuce up East London One pothole at a time.

Join me on my adventure!
