I had heard of these but this is the first I've seen of a picture of one. Such a great idea! :)

I'm sorry to piss in the cheerios, but this is a very very bad idea.

As someone said in the comments:

The seeds are going to destroy roads and sidewalks already in need of repair. Their roots will cause those little cracks to spread, and then they will spread more seeds to fill the in cracks. Before too long, you will turn your sidewalk into rubble filled with pretty flowers.

It’s basically a pretty way to spread urban decay.

As someone who lives next to a house with trees growing out of the windows (a row house so it directly affects my house), the idea makes me shudder.
