WHOOPS! Yup, you ar right Dave – that IS a topiary – the DDA landscaping service has been asked to do some “interesting things” – and there it is! So sorry – and, look in the future for veggies nestled among the flowers.

It was delightful, but temporary. I believe that topiary would be actual plants trimmed to look like various shapes. They abound in formal gardens in Europe, and bring delight to the eye.

By the way, this particular installatiaon was never vandalized.
