When a Michigan woman got fed up with all of the potholes in her town, she didn’t get angry.

She planted flowers instead.

WXYZ reports that Paige Breithart decided to plant flowers in part to beautify her neighborhood's unsightly roads but also to draw attention to the city's neglect of the potholes.

Hamtramck’s mayor Karen Majewski was contacted by WXYZ and said in a statement that she thought that planting flowers in the potholes was “very cool.”
