tree garden in California?

What is the art of training hardwood trees into shapes such as circles, hearts, boxes,basket weaves, etc. There is a man that did a lot of this in the 1920's, I believe.

I have also seen a book on the subject, but can not remember the title. "The Victory Garden" featured a 'Tree Theme park'...I think in the Bay area, that was to open in March of 2001. This park featured many of this man's original trees, along with other tree structures. Does anyone know:

1. What this technique is called?

2. A book title about this?

3. The name of the tree park and where it is?

Thank you so much.
