Legoland Landscape

Being a plant geek, I'm always interested to see how amusement parks use plant material. Legoland had some interesting garden details, and of course, some great Lego sculptures which I can't resist sharing!

My favorite landscape was the Safari ride which was full of soft grasses and beautiful succulents.

I must get a Lego zebra for my next garden installation!

One of Parker's friends happened to be going to Legoland for Spring Break too so he was fortunate to have a partner in crime.

Some familiar scenes from home, plus I love how some of the plants are represented in miniature:

The gardeners:

And some more amusing scenes:

But why does the George Washington on Mount Rushmore look like he's about to upchuck?

For you Star Wars fans out there:

  1. This is great. I had no idea legoland had models like these. I guess I should have guessed, but anyways they're really interesting. Makes me think I need to start making models and using legos for the architectural elements.
