Emdad Rahman?: Green fingered Steve Wheen has been very busy recently. Commissioned by Lancia, the famed pothole gardener recently travelled toMilanto create a series of installations for the opening of Milan Design Week.
Wheen created 14 gardens which included:
•a fashion garden (with heels of course);
•a music garden (to celebrate the famous Italian composers);
•a mini-art-exhibition garden (to celebrate the wonderful Italian artists);
•a light bulb garden (symbolising the conception of an idea).
He said, “I wasn’t sure how my little gardens were going to go down inMilan, and indeed I was quite nervous.
“However, I needn’t have been, as crowds of people stopped to look at the gardens. One of the favourites was the music garden complete with a lamp, music books and a piano.”
