Busy in the Garden

Been busy playing in the dirt?  If so, you are like many others in these parts who are anxious to plant vegetable and flower gardens.  Upon careful examination of the gardener in this image, you will notice he is made of LEGO bricks and was created by the talented LEGO brick artist Sean Kenney.  A couple years ago I saw this sculpture and several others in the Nature Connects 2 exhibit hosted by the Powell Gardens in Missouri.

Look Up
