How to make Britain's best loved car even better loved: say it with flowers

Birmingham invented the Mini and it is appropriate that this city should teach us two important lessons about cars and garden design (1) small cars are better than large cars (2) small flowery cars are better than small flowerless cars.

Note: Bloom1 was on display in Birmingham in 2009

  1. Does this mini-garden count as the first moveable garden or garden on the move?

  2. Sadly, I did not have a camera with me but I once saw a beautiful example of girl with a well-tended garden in the basket on the back of her bicycle.

  3. I am not sure how many cities or nations have comprehensive cycling maps? [http://knol.google.com/k/paul/amsterdam-cycle-route-10/m3hpd3552jcv/21#] This one is not your usual two dimension map with cycle paths marked – rather it is a guide for the cyclist and introduces them to the surrounding landscape.
