Now that’s what I call a Planter!

This weeks theme is Original


This car, in Toronto's Kensington Market, is a real planter with plants growing in it and on it!

Community Vehicular Reclamation Project … Uh huh. Well that’s original isn’t it?

I took this photo two summers ago while we were touring Toronto’s Kensington Market area.

This car was on a little side street just off the market area. It’s a shame it wasn’t right in the market as more people would have seen this amazing vehicle as they went from shop to shop getting their veggies, cheese, meats and clothing bargains.

There were plants rowing on the car and inside it too! What wasn’t covered in eco friendly plants was painted with cool graffiti designs.

I think the cars just fabulous. Oh and as far as I know they do something like this every summer so if you are ever in Toronto and you visit the famous Kensington market look for the car. It’s even more impressive in person.

    Very original, and, I feel, very wise! Just think if every city had a group like this. Perhaps it would not only help people who couldn’t normally afford cars, but perhaps it would lessen the number of junked cars.
