I'm not sure if this falls under what you're talking about, but I think the landscaping in Suess Landing might qualify.

Since this was the first time the Dr. Seuss books had been used in this way, they wanted to stay true to the theme (no straight lines anywhere). They made the buildings out of styrofoam to make them easy to form. When it came to the landscape, they wanted it to fit in too. So, they transplanted trees from south Florida that had been twisted and bent by Hurricane Andrew.

If you get a chance to watch the Universal Studios special that runs from time to time on the travel channel, it tells all about it.

Hope this helps!
