With this project, you'll reimagine what a simple 20-feet-by-8-feet parking spot can be. Choosing from four designs, you can turn the parking spot into a space for play, a space to expand business, or merely a space to be. The foundation of the design will be from the digital fabrication library Wikiblock, but you'll bring the colour and unique spin to the design.

Our kids reading events that we have had recently at the Downtown South Boston Farmers Market in partnership with the Halifax County Library and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library - we can't wait till we have these in our new parklet!
Three of our benches for our parklet have been installed and three more are drying from the painting and ready to be delivered soon. The impact so far has been incredible! It provides seating at the market, gives us a space to be, and to meet each other at the market. It is providing a great community space, an awesome social space to listen to bands, have kids reading events, and for the community to use for education of growing vegetables. It creates the perfect space for us! We can't wait for all the fun this will bring to our market for the future!
Our team is looking forward to the Garden Parklet at the Downtown South Boston Farmers Market!
Our plan started with needing a community space and some seating at the market. It has turned into that plus much more - a space to be. Meeting each other at the market. Creating a social space. A place to listen to the musical entertainment. A place to have kids reading events in partnership with the library. The perfect space for the community to use for education of growing of vegetables. A restaurant design with some koda planter boxes in addition to the benches for a farm & nutrition theme.
