Festooned in flapping patriotic pennants and flags and pompoms in red, white and blue that dangle from their branches, two well-known bike-median street trees at the intersection of Lowell Avenue and Bryant Street in Palo Alto are decked out to celebrate the Fourth of July.
The monthlong decorations gracing the so-called Trees of Gratitude are the latest iteration of community spirit and joy in the Old Palo Alto neighborhood. The tree-decorating project, which started in 2012 and was handed down from resident Catherine Debs, has been adopted by a group of Palo Alto and Gunn High School students who see the tree displays as a public service project.
