DESCRIPTION: 10-foot high bronze and concrete sculpture of a celery stalk, mounted on a 10-foot by 8½-foot bronze, stone and concrete platform
Richard Turner's sculpture for the City of Santa Ana pays tribute to the area's early Japanese agricultural heritage. The celery stalk image serves as a memorial to one of the most common crops cultivated in the area by Japanese Issei farmers.
The sculpture is at the entry point of the Flower Street Bike and Walking Trail. It was funded by a Recreation Trails and Transportation Enhancement Activity grant and was dedicated on July 11, 2015.
