Alluring miniature gardens, set for the arrival of spring, have popped up on both sides of the river, planted by visionary pothole gardener, Steve Wheen. The beautiful illustrations created with Heinz Tomato Ketchup are part of the âGrow Your Ownâ campaign.

NEVSEHIR, TURKEY - APRIL 17: Tourists ride hot air balloon near the town of Goreme on April 17, 2016 in Nevsehir, Turkey. Cappadocia, a historical region in Central Anatolia dating back to 3000 B.C is one of the most famous tourist sites in Turkey. Listed as a World Heritage Site in 1985, and known for its unique volcanic landscape, fairy chimneys, large network of underground dwellings and some of the best hot air ballooning in the world, Cappadocia is preparing for peak tourist season to begin in the first week of May. Despite Turkey's tourism downturn, due to the recent terrorist attacks, internal instability and tension with Russia, local vendors expect tourist numbers to be stable mainly due to the unique activities on offer and unlike other tourist areas in Turkey such as Antalya, which is popular with Russian tourists, Cappadocia caters to the huge Asian tourist market.
