When a pothole appeared in front of Stéphan Vigneault’s Gatineau, Que., home, he took it upon himself to fill it with dirt — and then flowers. The Post‘s Kyla Garvey spoke to the guerrilla gardener on Tuesday:
When did you first plant the garden?
Last summer I first planted it with a neighbour at night, filled the pothole. We did it at night so that people walked by in the morning and would be surprised by it. We chose a night without moon, and did it. This year we planted it again two weeks ago.
What did you plant?
We started with flowers, like lilies and geraniums, but also corn. The corn is starting to grow right now. We don’t know if there is enough soil for it to develop. Last year there was a squash plant but there wasn’t much time to develop, so it stayed very small.

Canada Ping!
Violation of union rules!!!
Failure to keep the street in front of his house mowed to proper height.
They call that a pothole?
This is a pothole. Plant this one!
Where is that?
Lancaster, PA. We have limestone quarries all over the place and cave-ins all the time in central PA. More likely, this was a ruptured water or sewer pipe which eroded the sub-base and base of the road. Who knows for sure?
Possible gardening ping. :-)
