Yoko Ono's Wish Trees in Pasadena







Imagine Peace

Yoko Ono's "Wish Trees for Pasadena" in the One Colorado courtyard now has 21 trees overflowing with knotted tags and scribbled wishes. There are now more than 10,000 wishes hung on the trees, and they're being added at a pace of about 1,250 a day, breaking all forecasts and sending the organizers scrambling to provide more tags. Pasadena's wishes will be added to the 700,000 that have already been collected at other Wish Tree installations. Eventually, the wishes will be removed and shipped to the Imagine Peace Tower, her memorial tribute to John Lennon, Ono said. "I'm amazed at how it's developing and growing and I am very thankful," Ono said.
