An installation that boosts the appearance of Lexi the Chestnut tree.
Lexi is one of two chestnut trees that were planted around 200 years ago on a private property midst of nature reserve de Veluwe. In the reserve the chestnut is a foreigner that made it's arrival by human hands. Now it's a healthy tree that can keep themselves healthy and happy. But still it receives human help in the form of extra water, several wooden aids and cleaning after to present Lexi in their best way possible
