New LEGO „The Botanical Garden Set“
The LEGO Group announces its latest addition to the LEGO Ideas collection – the stunning LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden set.
Botanical enthusiasts and LEGO fans alike can now immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of a Victorian-style botanical garden. This 3,792-piece set allows builders to explore a meticulously crafted glasshouse with three atriums, each filled with intricate details and over 35 plant species. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this set offers a delightful escape into a world of flora and fauna.
Spiral staircase
The main atrium features a spiral staircase leading to an observation deck, offering breathtaking views of two large exotic trees. The two smaller atriums house an arid garden filled with impressive cacti and a cozy café where visitors can relax. Outside, the gardens are adorned with colourful peonies and other vibrant plants, creating a picturesque scene that’s perfect for display.
Designed by Italy-based LEGO fan
The set was designed by Italy-based LEGO fan Valentina Bima as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. Once designed, 10,000 people voted for it to be made into a real set. Talking about her design, Valentina said, “I’ve been a fan of LEGO building since I was a child, and wanted to create a design that combined my love for botanical gardens and my favourite element - all transparent elements. The elements of this colour allow you to break down the external-internal border; the transparent elements allow you to build buildings, vehicles, spaceships or anything you can imagine with a pleasant and captivating external shape allowing you to see the internal details and the LEGO Minifigures”.
This set includes 12 LEGO minifigures, featuring four staff members (the manager, two gardeners, and a barista) and various visitors. Additionally, the set comes with assorted animal figures, including a dog, a squirrel, a bunny, four bird figures, and a beetle element, bringing the botanical garden to life.
