The late Romano Gabriel was a carpenter turned sculptor who created a wooden garden from discarded crates and boards. The garden has been "transplanted" and is now housed in a glass exhibit area for viewing 24 hours a day, all year. Romano Gabriel was born in Mura, Italy in about 1887 and worked with his father as furniture maker before setting off for America in 1913. Soon after his arrival in the United States, the artist served in World War I, then settled in Eureka where he worked as a carpenter and gardener, and built at least six houses. Romano Gabriel died in 1977, ten years after he added the final touches to his wooden works.
