Rouse Hill Estate & gardens team in LEGO® bricks
Ever wanted a garden that didn’t require water or maintenance? Well the southern hemispheres’ only LEGO® certified professional has replicated the iconic Rouse Hill Estate using only LEGO® bricks.
The detailed re-creation showcases the properties many outbuildings, gardens and even our resident farm animals. For me the best part is trying to find the LEGO® garden team maintaining the grounds with mowers, snippers and hedging shears. The trees and gardens have also been replicated in great detail and make me wonder about possibilities of the application of LEGO® in garden design and planning.
Please note: this was for a PAST exhibition.
