As we see more and more empty, abandoned street newspaper boxes, street artist Posterchild converted this one into a lovely planter with a simply-shaped plywood insert.

Fabulous urban gardening, I love it!!!
That plywood isn’t going to last very long, unless it is marine grade.
That’s beautiful and a little sad. It reminds me of “Nothing But Flowers” by The Talking Heads:
Once there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it
wow, I know where that crosswalk is, now I have to go check it out
This is a great reuse of those ugly old boxes! Thanks for adding some beauty to the streets!
