Discover your inner Botanist with the new LEGO© Ideas Botanical Garden set

The LEGO© Group has unveiled its latest addition to the LEGO© Ideas collection: the magnificent LEGO© Ideas The Botanical Garden set. This highly detailed 3,792-piece set invites both LEGO© enthusiasts and nature lovers to experience the serene charm of a Victorian-style botanical garden, offering a unique blend of creativity and tranquillity.

The centrepiece of this set is a meticulously designed glasshouse that features three distinct atriums. Each space is filled with intricate details and showcases over 35 different plant species. From seasoned gardeners to those simply drawn to the splendour of nature, this set promises an engaging and rewarding building experience, transporting builders into a lush, verdant world of flora and fauna.

The largest of the three atriums houses an impressive spiral staircase that leads to an observation deck, providing panoramic views of the garden’s centrepiece: two grand exotic trees. The smaller atriums have their own unique charms. One contains a vibrant arid garden complete with a stunning variety of cacti, while the other is home to a cosy café, where LEGO© minifigures can take a moment to relax and enjoy the scenery. Surrounding the glasshouse, the outdoor gardens burst with colour, featuring peonies and other vibrant plants, creating a visually captivating display that makes the set perfect for showcasing.

This exceptional set is the brainchild of Valentina Bima, a LEGO© fan and designer from Italy. Created as part of the LEGO© Ideas program, Valentina’s design garnered an impressive 10,000 votes from fans, allowing it to become a real LEGO© set. Valentina reflected on her creation: “I’ve loved LEGO© building since childhood and wanted to design something that merged my passion for botanical gardens with my favourite LEGO© element: transparent pieces. These elements dissolve the boundary between exterior and interior, making it possible to construct buildings, vehicles, or spaceships with a stunning outer appearance while revealing intricate internal details and minifigures inside.”

In addition to its breathtaking design, the set includes a delightful cast of 12 LEGO© minifigures. These include four staff members—a manager, two gardeners, and a barista—as well as several visitors who bring the botanical garden to life. The garden is further enriched with a variety of animal figures, such as a dog, a squirrel, a bunny, four birds, and even a beetle element, adding charm and realism to the scene.

The LEGO© Ideas The Botanical Garden set is a testament to creativity and passion, offering builders the opportunity to craft a serene escape filled with vibrant life. Whether displayed as a centrepiece or used for imaginative play, this set beautifully combines the timeless appeal of LEGO© with the elegance of nature.
