Nature Connects: LEGO Brick Sculptures
Exhibit: June 1 - September 29, 2013
Nature
Connects is open during regular Garden hours and will include
educational activities and special performances, such as a hands-on
LEGO® brick building station, LEGO® design competitions, storytelling,
discovery stations that explore how animals build in nature, live
performances by Dino O’Dell and Paul Mesner Puppets and more.
Have you visited Nature Connects: LEGO Brick Sculptures at Powell Gardens, Kansas City's Botanical Garden?
Our Friends of the Gardens' membership pass gives us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the gardens year-round.
I was anxious to see how 500,000 LEGO® plastic bricks would "connect with nature" at Powell Gardens.
The 27 amazing sculptures and 14 incredible displays celebrate the connections with fun, color and an amazing network of intricate designs.
It's difficult to pick just one favorite sculpture.
Which is your favorite?
