Guerrilla gardening project 'Head Gardeners' by Anna Garforth turns empty milk jugs into living street art, in a Chia Pet kind of way. The would-be trash is transformed by the artist into funky tribal masks which double as fun planters for a few lucky ferns and flowers.
The inverted plastic jugs have been strategically attached to light standards and sign posts throughout the city and now bring a touch of green distraction to an otherwise grey urban environment.
