Crater Garden

(Here's a photo of a victory garden flourishing in a London blitzed crater, a slightly different and cropped version of which appeared in our post about Kenneth Helphand's book Defiant Gardens: Making Gardens in Wartime. See more defiant gardens here. On a related note, check out Depave and PlantSF, two very fine organizations on a mission to rid cities of unnecessary concrete and asphalt. And on yet another related note, see also the Crack Garden. Photo courtesy of the Imperial War Museum.)
