Bonsai tree gardening is associated with mindful techniques that are almost meditative in practice, so this new LEGO Botanicals set is meant to mimic their experience, albeit in a building block-made manner. The building block set comes in the form of the Mini Bonsai Trees set with a total of 709 pieces that will combine to create a deep green black pine, golden ginkgo and a wisteria in bloom with lilac-colored flowers. The trees each allow for their foliage to be interchanged to encourage the builder to customize each one to their specific style preferences.
The new Mini Bonsai Trees LEGO Botanicals set will be available for preorder starting July 2 for $64.99 ahead of its August 1, 2025 release both in-store and online.
