The topiaries, of a mama and baby Apatosaurus, were created by the Pacific Science Center to promote a dinosaur exhibit. After the exhibit ended, the topiaries were offered for sale – and Fremont activists Josh Logan and Jon Hegeman purchased them for $1 – plus moving costs. After the incredible, community involved move, organizers discovered their ivy had not been grown in but stuffed. Over the last decade the Fremont Rotary has encouraged ivy to grow from the ground onto the frames, as well as doing regular maintenance.
