A Big, Beautiful Botanical Garden
I saw some videos and pictures of this set and decided to purchase it. It did not disappoint. This set is big and the final product is worth the build. It wasn't too hard to build, but there are a lot of small pieces. Overall, it's a beautiful set. Now, I have to find somewhere to display it.

It was fun to build, the instructions were clear, and I didn't use the builder app.

Disappointed
We have every modular building, all the flowers, most of the Christmas decor and many, many others-like others, we are avid Lego enthusiasts and it fills our home! I am a VIP purchaser who is buying often (ok addicted to Lego) and it is my hobby so yes we invest a lot on these sets. Compared to the other buildings, this was a bit of a let down. If there were more levels to it or even an English garden to round out the set it would have been worth the price. Although pretty, the amount of plants inside were’t significant and the outside are just same mini and repetitive. This price point is not a good value to the amount of detail you get compared to all the other buildings which held more interest to build, more levels and cheaper than this one. Wanted to be excited for this one, but it was a definite let down. Ps. I have never written a review, so felt strongly enough to not have someone spend this kind of $$$ when other sets have more to them.

Great set very detailed
This is the most expensive set that I have purchased it was a great buy & build the detail is great , I do wish that the interior was a bit bigger. It’s a great set to have set up in your room or for everyone to see

Outstanding Design - Teamwork Build
This was purchased to be built by grandsons and they did an excellent job. They took turns putting it together and it was fun to watch each day as it progressed. I love all of the "glass" and hope to change the way it is displayed soon, possibly with light coming through it.

Botanical Bliss!
I absolutely enjoyed building this Botanical Bliss of a kit!. I must say, this is my favourite kit of all the ones I have done. It was a joy to build. The attention to detail is superb. It is colourful with different flowers and plants. The 12 mini figures make for play ability. Well done Lego for creating a stunning piece!

Absolute favorite build
I loved everything about this build. It was clever and challenging and the resulting structure is gorgeous. I especially appreciated the details—the fun use of pieces the create flowers, the cozy cafe, the animals all doing cute things like the bunny eating the buds off one plant. Altogether satisfying and so creative.

Satisfying snaps!
Thoroughly enjoyed my first solo Lego assembly! Took my time and relished every detail of every piece. I was amazed that in a set with close to 4,000 pieces nothing was missing in 2024. This was a small miracle. Someone still cares about quality. That satisfying snap guaranteed I’ll be back for more! Thank you, Lego!

2024 Set of the Year!
Set of the Year for me by far! The only set that was even close in comparison, but still a very distant second, was Snow Whites Cottage and then Batman Skyline coming in third. I have a lot of 2024 sets yet to build, the Endurance will be next then D&D, Medieval Town Square and Milky Way eventually.
This is the set stock but I have 2 BL orders and a PAB arriving next week to enhance it some. The build was fast and fun and I couldn’t wait to work on it. It just looks so beautiful in person. Use gloves when handling the window elements. The 5 stickers are all on the inside and not front facing so you don’t really see them in the finished build. 12 minifigures and 5 animals.
The only negative is the price, $250 would have been better.
I don’t recall ever building a set that comes on 2 full baseplates. Assembly Square and Ninjago City were 1 1/2 baseplates.

One of the best set in2024
This set looks pretty and truly suitable for my LEGO city collection of Modular Buildings. I place it just next to the museum 10326. The building experience is a little boring because building plants always needs more patience.

Masterful creation
I enjoyed this build more than I thought. At first from the pictures I thought it was a little underwhelming, but there are excellent building techniques used and a great build overall. You can tell the creator really used her heart and soul to create this masterpiece.

Building this is going to be a hoot!!
Ordered on line and arrived within a week as a Xmas gift for wife on the proviso that I do the build with the grandsons. Though no discount on full price the free Xmas train and limited edition record turntable are brilliant (see photo of turntable). Garden and train are yet to be built but judging by the number of bags it is going make for a very fun and challenging Lego Christmas.

Art of Glass
Without question, this is a very impressive set when finally complete. The build itself generally alternates between larger architectural forms and smaller flora. The going can be rather slow and sometimes tedious, if not strictly repetitive. Of course, the pay-off is in the marvelous detail and watching it all come together when the roof finally goes on is amazing. The roof in particular is extremely solid and very translucent; it is the highlight of this set. Much has been said about the cost of this set and I had some mixed feelings about it while building. So much of Lego is experiential and that's not something one can easily put a value on. Ultimately, it IS worth the price. However, this pricing is starting to border on exclusionary -which is really a shame, because more people should have a chance to enjoy this; it's beautiful.

Nice Build and realism
Having work many years at a botanic garden, I found both the attention to detail and variety of plants very pleasing and interesting.
Utilizing the longhouse design provides a unique building experience that deviates from other modular builds that is fresh and intriguing.

Great to go green building green!
Fantastic detail as per Lego usual with this set.
Great fun building it and seeing the glasshouse taking shape.
So good to see Lego going green with its packaging as well.. just a word of caution… some of the smaller pieces seem to like getting stuck in the new paper bags… to help find them, always place the white bag on a flat surface once you’ve tipped the pieces out and run your hand over the bag and feel for any missed pieces still in the bag

Flowers Anyone?
I love it. All the details and the colors. My wife doesn’t usually get into building, but she loved helping with this one. I have the Natural Museum as well. Now an art museum would go great.

A Botanical Delight
As an architecture, gardening and Lego enthusiast, this set seemed tailored to my taste and it didn’t disappoint.
The varied build that seemed to perfectly switch between intricate plant builds and the grand architectural structure was thoroughly enjoyable. The finished build has to be the most beautiful building Lego has ever released.
As some one who owns many of the early Modular buildings along with some of the more recent, including the original Ninjago city. In my opinion this set has surpassed them all for build experience and is by far my new favourite.
Thank you to the fan designer and the team at Lego for turning her stunning concept into this beautiful work of art.

More than the sum of its parts
There's no getting around this: there are a lot of repetitive steps in this build. Look at it: each of those little flowers will be hand-assembled, by you, in order to finish the set.
But when it is finished, you have a truly stunning centerpiece for your minifigures to visit. The huge variety of plants, and the density at which they are packed into the interior of the building, make a unique build unlike anything else at minifig scale.
