I got fed up of potholes so I turned them into flowerbeds

National World - Viral Videos

A decorator and landscaper fed up with the pothole-riddled roads in his town has  taken to the streets to fill them - with flowers.  Harry Smith-Haggett, 22, found himself particularly perturbed by the potholes plaguing his town of Horsham in West Sussex.  So Harry decided to take matters into his own hands and fill the potholes, but with a twist.  He planted little pots of flowers into the existing potholes creating what he has dubbed as "pretty potholes."
