A sculpture project by the sculptor Israel Primo in 5 squares in Hadera

In the squares on Hativat Golani Street in Hadera we placed works that are a tribute to the gardening industry in the city

One of the symbols of the city of Hadera are the fruits of the citrus trees and orchards that characterized the city since the 20s of the last century.
Thousands of dunams of citrus groves planted by the farmers of the Hadera settlement provided the city’s residents for decades.

Hativat Golani Street, which connects the city center with the Beit Eliezer neighborhood, passes through an area where there used to be many orchards, some of which still exist, mainly in the south of the city.
As a tribute to the first settlers who were involved in the horticulture industry, the artist designed and created the Israel Primo sculpture from the Natish gallery, large-scale sculptural elements in iron and wood work, unique three-dimensional works in 5 circles of movement.

All the works deal with the theme of orchard work, agriculture and citrus: where the common denominator and the link between all the installations is the wheels that were designed in the form of orange and grapefruit slices and planted as wheels in the installations of a steam train and two cars of citrus, a citrus cart, an orange box harnessed to a bicycle rickshaw, a plow and a stack of boxes Authentic.
