I’m categorizing this post as both Arts & Crafts and Home & Garden. It’s a slideshow I put together from my recent visit to see the Nature Connects Lego’s exhibition at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach, Florida. I heard about the exhibit coming to Palm Beach County many months ago and have had it on my calendar ever since.

Nature Connects at Mounts Botanical Garden
The lego sculptures were designed and created by Sean Kenney. In 2005 Sean became the first-ever Lego Certified Professional. According to Sean’s website “LEGO Certified Professionals are officially licensed by The LEGO Group and engage in certain types of commercial activities involving LEGO products. They are recognized by the LEGO Group as trusted business partners and operate as their own fully independent organizations.” Sean is NOT a Lego employee, but rather their best customer with over 5 million pieces in his collection.
With over 50 Lego sculptures, the exhibit can be displayed in multiple locations at the same time. The Nature Connects display at Mounts Botanical Gardens contained 15 Lego sculptures making up 13 displays, which are scattered throughout the many acres of garden tropical landscape.
Here are a few photos I took while enjoying Nature Connects at Mounts Botanical Garden.
There are over 31,000 Lego’s in this hummingbird sculpture.

Great attention to detail, can you imagine making something this big out of Legos?

2022 UPDATE: Lego artist Sean Kenney has been busy making all-new Lego sculptures. I’ll be visiting my local botanical garden SOON to see his Nature Pops Lego exhibit on display in West Palm Beach, Florida! The exhibit opens on Saturday at 9 am – looks like it’s $15 per person or free if you’re a Mounts Botanical Garden member.
