Have you ever heard the expression about making hay while the sun shines? Well these people have been making art out of that hay. Cool, huh?

Aren't these cool?
I love topiary art. I think it would be so much fun to have a bunch of cool green sculptures in my front yard.

Dragon Topiary

It's Spring! Time to start thinking about what you're going to plant in your garden. Well, here's a suggestion! How about a Dragon Topiary from Nieman Marcus!
Here's the sales pitch:
"Imagine Jones's face when he putters out on his riding mower Saturday morning and catches a glimpse of your new front yard. He's likely to decapitate the wife's roses. Of course, our 100th anniversary 100-foot long dragon topiary from Black Barn Farm isn't meant (just) to inspire envy.
"First and foremost, it's a living, natural work of art from topiary artist Matthew Larkin, complete with gold-leafed horns, claws, teeth, and fins. With its blown-glass eyes and custom-welded steel frame, it's an investment, really.
"Whipped up on your land with 15 indigenous plants, it's a gift you can give yourself and your heirs. Work some Tom Sawyer mojo, and Jonesy will be offering to trim it for you.
"Price Starting at $35,000.00 Call 1.877.9NM.GIFT for more fire-breathing details."
Too pricey for you? Want to make one of your own? Here's another cool dragon topiary. I bet those creative juices are flowing now!

This cool dragon topiary was created with bromeliads.
Wow! Nifty!

Garden of Dreams
9:19 PM

This striking image of a woman was at the heart of one of the show gardens at the 2006 Chelsea Flower Show in London, UK.The garden was designed as a 'natural haven of peace, inviting visitors to journey from the stressful world of consciousness to an altogether more alluring destination, idealised in dreams..'
We understand that since the 2006 Chelsea Flower Show closed, this figure has been bought by Olivia Harrison, the widow of George Harrison. She has been continuing to restore the large Victorian garden at their house in Henley-on-Thames, UK, which is where we understand the sculpture has now found a permanent home.

Vertical Gardening
10:17 PM

Patrick Blanc overgrows the vertical surfaces of buildings in the most beautiful way.
What he creates is way more than a fancy horticultural show.
His Vertical Garden could rather be called eco-art, or greener architecture,
because it consists of a variety of plants trailing gently up any interior or outside wall.
Amazing how Patrick grew this organic wallpaper inside a private home.
