Jane Tsong's proposals for radical gardens, each growing out of extensive research into local cultural history, have been finalists for public art commissions in Astoria, Oregon and the City of Ventura. A 2006 proposal to substitute community garden plots for the institutionally maintained landscaping around a new South Los Angeles Council District Office was recommended for a commission, but vetoed by the city. Since 2004, she has been creating blessings for the water, air, and biosolids to be treated by the Brightwater Wastewater Treatment Plant in Seattle, which will open in 2011, and will include two blessings written by poet Judith Roche.
