Light Green/ Dark Green

by Elia Arce

Continuity, Challenge, Care, Commitment, Respect, Growth


Many artists before me have worked the garden art idea at PRH. I want to contribute to their efforts by leaving behind a visual/written/green house proposal. The Residents’ Council, gardening experts and this experiment will inform this document.


Through the process of researching and designing this living installation, I learned about different alternative gardening methods. During the next four months this row house will be used as a gardening laboratory, growing and producing wheat grass and other greens every few weeks. Aisen C. Chacin and Malcom Smith will assist me as we research, experiment and document this process. The goal is that by the end of February 2010, we will have a clearer idea of what is needed to develop support for a future permanent sustainable garden at PRH.



Special thanks to Darin Floyd from the Progressive Garden
