Best Garden Sculpture Ever!

[ChanellG]

I just came across this photo on Pinterest. I clicked on it and was taken to a blog post about a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. A while ago we had a thread of stuff like this that people had seen around the web, but this has to be the best living garden sculpture ever!

Is that awesome or what? It looks like a real dog!

WOW!

I think that the person who trims that sculpture has also groomed dogs! He has the "fur" around the face perfectly!

I love it! It looks like a giant Yorkshire Terrier. Actually, it reminds me of my sweet Yorkie
I want a sculpture like this in my future garden!

Me too, Claudine! I want to sit this on my front lawn! Unfortunately, all the dogs in the neighborhood would probably stop and growl at it, lol.

I don't know about that, Terri, but a topiary expert or sculptor would understand the proportions and how to maintain the shape. I would love to know what's underneath all that grass!

I want it! I wonder what plant they used exactly to make it and how long it took. If Dan won't let me have a little baby, I will have one in the garden! He would probably shake his head and walk away.

That is absolutely awesome! I'll admit, I looked at the photo for a bit to check out little details to be sure it really was a plant. How clever and creative. Imagine the looks you'd get if that were to be sitting in your front yard! How many people would walk by thinking it was a loose dog!

At first glance I thought that was real. That is very good. Do you now what kind of grass that is?

I don't know what plant was used. I saw the dog on Pinterest and the link led to someone's blog post about visiting the garden. I suppose I could try and google "dog sculpture Atlanta garden," but I have a couple other things I'm looking into at the moment.
