Pictures of planting the trees
 January 2008
Planting the first Tree and Space
Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA
|
Current plaque for Tree and Space, September 2011, Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA. This plaque replaced the one that dissappeared on March 2011. I chose to eliminate the grave type concrete and bronze marker and go with a simple and discrete plaque attached to the tree.
Chronology of the Tree and Space trees:
FIRST TREE
I
planted the first tree and it died a few months later dispite hauling 3 gallon jugs of water up the hill every other day.

THIRD TREE
I did some more research and found that the Eucalyptus trees I was planting near were probably the problem. So, deciding that the project was about place and not planting, I chose to use a nearby eucalyptus sapling that was thriving next to my dying tree. I did not plant this tree, it was simply there. |
The third Tree and Space by Lara Bank, plaque moved to a thriving nearby existing eucalyptus sapling, March 2008. This is the current site for Tree and Space. |
Plaque placed for Tree and Space, March 2011, Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA. This plaque replaced the older fading plaque. It was also sunk with concrete much deeper in the ground to keep it in place. It dissappeared in the summer 2011 |
