Prices change often. Always check the price in the store before you buy.

Good

  • Low price and good value per piece
  • Two looks in one box
  • Small enough for a desk or windowsill

Not so good

  • Short build for experienced builders
  • Was on back order at LEGO.com Sweden when we checked

The facts

  • 878 pieces. 18 cm high, 21 cm long and 20 cm wide (LEGO.com).
  • Two canopies in the box – green leaves or pink blossoms – and you can swap between them. Look closely at the blossoms: they are made of small frog pieces. Rectangular pot and a wood-effect stand; the leaves are made of plant-based plastic from sugarcane (LEGO.com).
  • List price on LEGO.com Sweden: 719.90 kr (checked 3 November 2026), about 0.82 kr per piece. US $49.99, UK £44.99 (Brickset).
  • On sale since January 2021, with no exit date listed on Brickset. When we checked, LEGO.com Sweden said it ships by 23 November.

Who should buy it

Anyone looking for a gift for an adult who likes plants, design or a calm evening build. It also suits people who have never built LEGO as adults.

Who should skip it

Experienced builders looking for a challenge – it is a short build.

Price verdict

The price is low enough that waiting for a deal saves little. Buy it when you need a gift.

Verdict: Buy. List price is fine; under 650 kr is a good price.

How we set target prices: the target is a level we consider good value, based on price per piece and comparable sets. It is not a prediction that any store will reach it.
