Okay, so this is just an art installation on display in London's Covent Garden, and the LEGO "soil" is shoveled on top of pots full of regular non-plastic dirt. And if it weren't funded by LEGO as a promotional thingy, it would cost approximately a squillion dollars to build. But come on:  LEGO? Gardening? LONDON??? We can't resist anything that brings so much awesome together into a delicious awesomeness sandwich (made with LEGO-grown lettuce, natch).
