The Toronto-based street artist Posterchild has been turning unused flier boxes in his city into planters. He’s done four so far, which you can check out on his blog here, here, here, and here. Nice work.

    How wonderful! Love your art. Just out of curiousity how do you maintain/water the flowers? does a neighborhood adopt the box or do you do it?

    Okay, moments ago I commented that the kid’s drawing of how to fix the Mars rover was my favorite thing i’d seen in a while, but this is making a running at that.
