The Sherman Library and Gardens meets Hollywoodland!

By Chris O’Brien

In 2022 I began collecting acorns scattered on the Hollywoodland roadways while on my daily walks. These were gathered with the purpose of creating a visual, living legacy to celebrate Hollywoodland’s Centennial in 2023.

I started with 100 acorns. That horticultural process was mostly trial and error. Some of the acorns sprouted, some did not, some were meals for hungry squirrels. The survivors grew in pots in our garden, a mini Hollywoodland forest.
