“Together with her husband, photographer Erik Otsea, Kameon created a T from 130 plants. And in a postscript sure to warm the hearts of environmentalists, no flora were harmed in the making of this artwork. In fact, they’re all bound for a new demonstration garden in Kameon’s office and showroom.”
Reminiscent of Colors project where Mu Chen used soil to recreate classic logos.
Design-related is this interior signage at the New York Times, created by Pentagram, as well as a write-up about the exterior signage.

Update:
I love this New York Times logo LEGO.

VDM,
Well that Lego explains why the New York Times doesn’t have a lot of spare time for fact checking these days.
David Airey,
Really? Maybe I should bin the plans for my rooftop-pool.
Roy Gerbia,
Beautiful artistic way to show the design.
Lee Newham,
Love the idea. There are some lovely versions of logo horticulture around, we have tried to use it (where relevant) a few times. One day.
Camille Moore,
I’m always attracted to succulents in design. I couldn’t quit gazing at this collaboration of plantings. Nice.
Laurel,
Wow… that is so beautiful.
Jamie Davis,
The fact the logo can grow in sense is a cool idea. I must confess though – I much prefer the Lego design. The fact that it’s a building as well just topped it for me. So creative – I love it.
Lori Todd,
I’ve been meaning to share w/ them the tattoo of the “T” logo I put on my forearm years ago when I was a newspaper designer …
Samah,
It’s the first time I notice that the “T” looks so much like the Arabic letter “ح”, cool :)
Anna Green,
I love this! There should be more typographic gardens. Really clever use of colour, too.
Tino Cordes,
The lego-logo is cool. Maybe it should be a logo designers rule? If your logo is too detailed to make in lego – trash it!
rick kerrigan,
Those images are awesome. Would it be acceptable to use the one titled “the finished product” as a background in a personal blog (say if the credits were in the alt text)? I understand if it wouldn’t be.
