Giant Celery Stalk

The Giant Celery Stalk - these are the roadside attractions we live for.

The giant celery stalk, made of bronze and cement proudly sits on a Santa Ana Street corner, and celebrates the Japanese - American farmers who once ruled the world of celery on that very spot.

The enormous bunch of celery created by artist Richard Turner in 2015 stands proud and erect here in Orange County, despite the leafy top being cropped off, so people recognize the cropped celery they are more familiar with in their supermarket produce section.

five hundred thousand stars.
