Cyclist Steve Wheen, of Shoreditch, East London, began his campaign out of frustration at the lack of repairs to roads damaged by the harsh winter. As a guerrilla gardener, he decided to do something and make a point. Steve uses plants and miniatures to create sanctuaries of tranquility in broken urban places. Part art project, part labour of love, part experiment, part mission to highlight how shit [east London] roads are – the pictures and gardens are supposed to put smiles on peoples faces and alert them to potholes!
