Created for the London Design Festival of 2011, this LEGO Greenhouse was made out of the building blocks from your childhood.
The toy company commissioned designer Sebastian Bergne to make this LEGO Greenhouse completely out of the brick blocks. Even the soil in the greenhouse is made out of LEGO. The most important part of the greenhouse, the greenery, is real though.
With so many different LEGO creations coming out each day, the LEGO Greenhouse is definitely the greenest of them all.
