If you’ve ever dreamed of a LEGO® set that brings the serenity of a botanical garden into your home, your wait is almost over. The LEGO® Ideas 21353 The Botanical Garden is set to release on November 1, 2024, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
A Set Built for Display
This 3,792-piece masterpiece is one of the largest and most detailed LEGO® Ideas sets to date. It stretches across two baseplates, measuring 51cm wide, 25cm deep, and 22cm tall. While it’s not modular-compatible, it’s designed to fit seamlessly into any LEGO® city layout, adding a touch of nature to your brick-built world.
The set includes 12 minifigures, the most ever in a LEGO® Ideas set, featuring garden staff, visitors, and even a minifigure with a visual impairment, a first for LEGO®. The attention to detail extends to the animals: a dog, squirrel, bunny, four birds, and a beetle bring the garden to life.
What’s Inside the Botanical Garden?
The Botanical Garden is divided into three atriums:
- The main atrium boasts a spiral staircase leading to an observation deck, surrounded by towering exotic trees.
- The arid garden is filled with striking cacti.
- The cozy café offers a place for minifigures (and builders) to unwind.
The roof design is a standout feature, introducing two new elements: a 1×5 arch brick and a clear corner piece, both adding to the set’s elegant aesthetic.
New Elements and Exclusive Offers
Plant lovers will rejoice at the 35 unique brick-built species, including a brand-new tulip element. The set also debuts a new minifigure with a visual impairment, carefully designed for authenticity.
For those who pre-order between November 1-7, 2024, LEGO® is offering the 5009005 Entrance Gate as a gift with purchase—while supplies last.
From Fan Design to Final Product
Originally submitted by fan designer Valentina Bima, the set has been expanded and refined by LEGO®, resulting in a grander, more immersive build. The final version retains the charm of the original while offering more space and detail.
Availability and Pricing
The LEGO® Ideas Botanical Garden (21353) will be available exclusively at LEGO.com and LEGO® Stores starting November 1, 2024, for LEGO® Insiders, with a general release on November 4.
