Meet Mama Zelda! 🌿🧌 Tucked inside the Mother Earth Troll Garden at the Huntsville Botanical Garden, this larger-than-life beauty is hard to miss! Standing nearly 20 feet tall, Mama Zelda was created by internationally renowned artist Thomas Dambo using salvaged and repurposed materials.

But she’s more than just a giant troll; she’s a guardian of nature, surrounded by a living maze of plants and winding pathways that invite you to slow down, explore and see nature a little differently. 🌱✨

And let me just say…the videos don’t quite do Mama Zelda justice. You really have to see this magical North Alabama treasure for yourself! 💚
