This installation was created for the Armory Center for the Arts in conjunction with the Tender Land Festival in Pasadena. I planted seventy citrus trees in the model of the first Craftsman bungalow floorplan in Pasadena, the “tract” home of its time. The site was on Sierra Madre Boulevard where there was once a large number of citrus groves before the real estate boom in the early 1920s in that area. Included on the site was a faux historical landmark plaque describing the project.
