HBL Retail: Grow! Urban gardening at Selfridges

Cavalier plant pots by az & mut

Selfridges' concept space The Wonder Room will play host to Grow!, a pop-up retail space focusing on the modern phenomenon of urban gardening, for the duration of April 2011.

Guerrilla gardening will be a major theme throughout the space: Kabloom have created Seedboms in vibrant shades of Selfridges yellow especially for the event, while guerrilla gardener Richard Reynolds will be installing a photographic celebration of guerrilla gardening to date in the Wonder Windows.
