Inspired by the tenacious plants that pioneer the tiny cracks of urban landscapes, CMG Landscape Architecture’s Crack Gardens transform existing concrete slabs through hostile takeover. The rows contain a lushly planted mix of herbs, vegetables, flowers and rogue weeds retained for their aesthetic value. The conceptual basis of the Crack Garden is to reveal the potential for beauty that underlies the concrete and asphalt that is the predominant ground plane material of the urban landscape.
