Flyer Box Planters

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.

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

That plywood isn't going to last very long, unless it is marine grade.
