Hi everyone,
After 2 quite difficult themes, garden was more easily presented in Lego, I can also see that when looking at all the great builds everyone has already made. For me the problem with "garden" as a theme is that I do not have a lot of plant or vegetation pieces. Luckilly everyone can only use 101 pieces, but it did decrease the amount of options a little. I had a hard time making the glass space dome and made the build quite difficult for myself, the spherical shape with only skeletal pieces was quite difficult.

I tried to use the orangy brown to indicate that the greenhouse is on planet Mars. I used the total amount of 101 pieces exaclty. When I first built it, I was over it by 9 pieces which was anoying and made me reduce the amount of sand around the dome. This was not an improvement but it was fine and I am happy with my build.

Thanks everyone for the competition and fun building experiences. We are halfway, Good luck!!
