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.”
