Arizona artists Nelson and Smith worked with community residents to design the garden fences and gates. Drawing on a shared passion for renewing the old, the artists built the improvements with sculptural concrete fence posts and steel forged from recycled garden tools and salvaged industrial parts. The cast concrete posts also include household mementos contributed by community residents.
The public art project was commissioned by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program with percent-for-the-art funds from the Housing and Water Capital Programs.
