Poster Pocket Plants
By Jake Schabas // 7 Comments
The Toronto Cyclists Union's executive director Yvonne Bambrick pointed out this new addition to the Queen and Spadina corner. Using the posters already pasted to the poll, some unknown individual must have carefully ripped, wrapped and re-pasted them into cones, filled them with dirt and planted the pockets with flowers.

Absolutely love it. Very interesting.
I love it, I wanted to do something like it in Montreal, and then I realized that we don't really have any wooden lamp posts downtown.
That post is metal, Alanah -- though the posters give it a woody "bark".
Check the "revisted" post guys- this was actually done by two artists named Eric Cheung and Sean Martindale...

My money's on this being the work of Posterchild (http://www.bladediary.com/) who both does a lot of work in the area and who's big on (guerilla) gardening.
