First Leaked Images of LEGO Ideas 21353 Botanical Garden | November 2024


Only a handful of sets remain for 2024 and we're getting ever closer to the release of one of these LEGO models thanks to a leak from LEGO themselves. Earlier today the official LEGO shop@home gave us our first glimpse of the ninth and final LEGO Ideas model of 2024: 21353 Botanical Garden. The November 2024 set will retail for $329.99 / €329.99 / £279.99 with a total of 3,792 pieces included.


It's been less than a year since the Botanical Garden and Twilight: Cullen House were confirmed to be coming as official LEGO sets but the LEGO designers have been extremely busy preparing the brick-built Botanical Garden for a 1st of November 2024 release. Once it releases it'll become the largest LEGO Ideas set of 2024 in terms of piece count, beating Aprils 21348 - Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale.


As the name suggests, 21353 is a beautiful recreation of a Botanical Garden in LEGO form, similar to the recent LEGO Friends Botanical Garden set of 41757 Botanical Garden but in a much bigger scale. In fact, the first leaked images of the set show that the 18+ indoor garden stretches across a total of two regular 32×32-stud LEGO baseplates.


The brick-built Botanical Garden building is a fully glazed greenhouse with a neoclassical entrance facade that welcomes visitors inside. There you can find various botanical species in LEGO form including a banana tree, a palm and a Beaucarnea recurvata in the central area, succulents plants in the left apse, various flowers in the right apse, Anthurium, Strelitzia, Bamboo plants, Stromanthe thalia, Caladium bicolor, Begonia Maculata, Codiaeum variegatum e and many more along the garden's perimeter. 

 

Even with this wide range of Minifigure scale botanical plants, the interior is very large with fully accessible open space expanding across these two baeplates. Compared to the original submission by Goannas89, LEGO's official design seems to be slightly shorter, no longer stretching across two floors, but much wider. However, this still allows for a skylight roof and large open glass windows on the first floor which can all be easily removed for full playability. 


The original submission by Goannas89 also included over 3,000 pieces, eight Minifigures, plenty of accessories and a dog. LEGO has not only increased the piece count but also increased the number of Minifigures. From the leaked image and current rumours, a total of 12 figures will be included along with a moulded dog. The biggest game-changer however will be whether or not this 18+ model is modular compatible which we'll only find out when 21353 is officially revealed very soon...

The Friends Botanical Garden was given to me as a Mothers Day gift and was my first Friends set. I now have 20 sets with plans on many more. I adore the Botanical Garden, the butterflies and exotic plants are special. I am super happy a new much bigger one is coming. I can't wait for more.
