About 18 months ago I came across the Lego Botanical Collection, construction kits that allow grown-ups to build flower bouquets and bonsai trees from bio plastic components.
At that stage there were only two sets in the collection: the most delicate and convincing of flower bouquets, and a must-have bonsai tree – both novel, and utterly collectible.
So popular were the first two in the Lego Botanical series that the range has been increased, and one can now choose from five truly wonderful plant sets. In addition to the original bouquet and bonsai, there’s a potted orchid, a bird of paradise, and a most delightful set of succulents.
All sets are customisable, and just plain fun to build, either on your own, or with the family all lending a hand. Think rainy Sunday afternoons filled with hours of focus and joy.
So, next time you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for a hard-to-buy-for friend or family member, head on over to the Lego website, and be inspired by their Botanical Collection.
