Similar to one of those hand-held-slide-puzzles-with-one-square-missing (what are they called?), except it's a bit bigger and you need a powerful motor and some cleverly wired pulleys to rearrange the blocks.
If you want to move the water feature to the bottom of the garden, simply perch yourself
in a big tree and manipulate the wireless handheld puzzle controller and the garden will follow suit.

Similar idea, but more ambitious. [hippo, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Cool.
You could have a system of rails and wheels under the blocks in order to make moving them about a bit easier. |
|
| |
or you could automate it... Some kind of random pattern generator. Wake each morning to a new garden layout. |
|
| |
And when they're arranged in a certain pattern, a big smiley-face results. |

On one day of the year they spell out a special message for you. |

Or... they follow the same configuration for every date, like a series of garden anniversaries. You'd be able to tell what day it was, after a few years. |
