We all have a dream garden. For my son, it is a room full of Legos! Several weeks ago we visited the Lego exhibit: Towering Ambition at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. It was amazing to see Lego models of some of the most famous buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building, St. Louis’ Gateway Arch, the White House and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. My son stayed busy for a couple of hours creating in the free play area. He built a house and added pieces to existing structures until one grew into the tallest building in the free play area. Yes, this could be my son’s garden. It certainly fits one definition of a garden…. a fertile and delightful spot.
