Four years ago, Cambridge asked for proposals for a public art project for a school complex they were building. The winner was a living art project that will memorialize a beloved apple tree that had to be cut down because of construction.

Twelve-year-old Milo Weinberg remembers the apple tree at Cambridge’s Tobin Montessori School like an old friend.

“It's a kind of restoration project in some ways – an apple tree that the children used to climb – but in many ways, it's a celebration of community. And that, I remember, was for all of us, lost during COVID,” said Kim. Halloran remembers when he was brought on board to lead the propagation for the project. It was only a few days later that Kim called him that it was time to cut the branches off the original tree for propagation.

There, the project is explained step by step through colorful murals. At the center of the exhibit is a 3D model of the new tree and the wood sculptures, all made from Lego bricks.
