About the garden - Concept garden
The Rainbow Brick Balcony Garden has been designed and built by Limerick artist, Gary Kirwan, as a tribute to LEGO, the iconic brick loved by millions of children and adults around the world.
Designed for a balcony space, the garden is eye-catching and functional. Constructed entirely from bricks, it has been meticulously planned and built to scale. The vibrant colours replicate the beauty of nature with flowers such as fairy foxglove, aster, Welsh poppy and sunflowers. Unlike a living garden, these flowers will stay in bloom through every season, giving year-round enjoyment.
Playful and unique, this concept garden has been designed for those who admire beautiful gardens but who may not have the time, energy, or motivation to maintain the real thing. It is made by LEGO lovers, for LEGO lovers, offering the user endless opportunities to be creative and have fun.

His creations are freestyle, born from his imagination. While he builds most installations himself, he is often helped in his projects by his son, Sam, his wife, Michelle, and his friends at Brick Shows Ireland.

What is planned for this garden after Bloom?
This garden is made entirely from Lego. All components will be broken down after the festival and used in future projects.
