404A: The Bench

October 05, 2016

4:15pm - 4:30pm

Living on a quiet suburban street, wondering how to meet neighbours and engage in my community, I decided to build a bench on my front lawn. It’s not just a regular bench. It is a bench with a green roof and bird feeders and a small free library. It has a water bowl for dogs. It might also have an occasional bowl of strawberries (if they grow on its green roof)—the possibilities are almost endless. It also has an invitation to enter my property and use it.
