The Best Lego Flower and Plant Sets

Wait 5 sec.

I feel awful whenever I inadvertently kill a houseplant. But most fake plants, even decent ones, remind me of dreary dentist waiting rooms. Thankfully, the Lego Botanical Collection solves my problem.Lego’s line of brick-built flora has a pleasing balance of realism and visible studs. It isn’t out to fool anyone. Here are faux plants that proudly say, “No, I’m not real, but you’re gonna love me—or at least appreciate that someone dreamed me up.”The Botanical Collection started out as a hobby for Lego designers, who were building plants and flowers only to keep around the office before the company decided to create a portfolio of botanical designs specifically for grown-ups. Over the past several years, the Botanical Collection has grown to include everything from asters to orchids, and we’re fans of many of the offerings.We also think the line’s 18-plus age recommendation isn’t always necessary. We decided to feature Lego Tiny Plants 10329 in our guide to the best Lego sets for kids after our 12-year-old tester loved building it. If you’re in any way Botanical Collection–curious, read on.
