Today, the LEGO Group announces its latest addition to the LEGO Ideas collection; the stunning #21353 LEGO Ideas 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.
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 colorful peonies and other vibrant plants, creating a picturesque scene perfect for display.
The set was designed by Italy-based LEGO fan Valentina Bima as part of the LEGO Ideas program. 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 favorite element – all transparent elements. The elements of this color 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, the most ever included in a LEGO Ideas set, 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, bringing the botanical garden to life.
The #21353 LEGO Ideas Botanical Garden is going to be available for LEGO Insiders from the 1st of November and LEGO stores for all from the 4th of November. Prices are as follows: €329.99 / £289.99 / $329.99 / 429.99 CAD / 499.99 AUD / 2799 CNY / 135990 HUF / 7999 MXN. For more information, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
In addition, between the 1st and 7th of November, all purchases of the LEGO Ideas Botanical Garden will receive the #5009005 LEGO Botanicals Entrance Gate as a free gift. The set comes with vibrant flowers, leaves, and a butterfly as well as a gardener minifigure.

Wow. They really went all out on this one. What a spectacular set!
I’m certain this will be an instsnt buy for many. Very beautiful. It has a little bit of the style of the brick bank, and little bit of the museum.
We have the smaller friends version, which is also very good. But this one looks amazing!
This and Xavier’s School on the same day? My poor bank account!
Plus I’m considering a second botanical garden to turn into Poison Ivy’s lair. . .
Nice! This will fit nicely with the modulars. And that’s a lot of minifig!
UPDATE: I added the image for the GWP set. Enjoy. 🙂
