I was asked to speak at TedxHackney on the weekend, which was quite an honor. The theme for the event was happiness. Daniel Vais created an awesome programme of speakers which looked at ideas around happiness from all different angles.

I’ll post the podcast soon, but for now, here’s a sneak peak at my happy feet installation, and also my pothole garden in a suitcase that I used during my presentation!

I’m in Milan getting ready to garden for the opening of design week, thank you to everyone for their ideas for Italian themed gardens on facebook, I’ll post pictures shortly!

Keep an eye on my green fingered updates from Milan on Facebook, youtube and Twitter.

Gardening in India

Most of my little gardens have sprung up around London, specifically East London. On a recent trip to India I couldn’t resist pulling out my trowel and getting my fingers dirty.

I’m not sure what the locals made of it, but it sure made them smile!

I’ve been astounded at the reaction to my little film holes of happiness, I can’t believe we’ve had over 55,000 views already on YouTube!

It’s almost springtime in London – if you’re inspired to create your own pothole garden, please do send me a photo to post here on my blog.

Holes Of Happiness

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!
