Excerpt:
After being abandoned for years, a derelict motorcycle in the Brockton Village neighbourhood has been transformed into a community garden by a local artist.
According to neighbours, the motorcycle at College Street and St. Clarens Avenue has been left parked on the street since before the COVID-19 pandemic, and some residents have complained it’s an eyesore.
Local artist Shari Kasman first noticed the motorcycle a few weeks ago while walking with a friend, who complained about the bike’s constant presence on the corner.
So she salvaged a semi-broken bike basket that had been discarded on the street, filled it with soil and plants from her garden and zip tied it to the motorcycle’s handlebars.
Over the following weeks, she returned with more plant pots and marigolds, a set of crocheted sleeves for the handlebars, handmade seed paper gifted by a community member and a sign that reads “motorcycle garden pocket.”
“I’m pretty excited about it. It’s super close to where I live and it’s a big improvement from just the motorcycle,” said Kasman.
