So I’ve been into Lego for a while now since my first set in 1994 which was one of the pirate ships and I was instantly hooked. I love plants so naturally this was a great fit. My wife surprised me with this for my birthday and I had such a great time building it and making it my own which I think is the best feature of this set. It allows some freedom with the small decorative pieces on the branches and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the tree come together. Not an overly difficult build, took around 2 hours, but was so worth it. I put on some Japanese garden music and just had a relaxing and enjoyable build. Way to go Lego. Please keep making these plant themed sets. Maybe a small botanical garden or miniature central park set would be great. Anyway, if you love Lego and plants get this set. It has made me quite happy and displays very well.

Holy pink frogs, batman! I was stoked about this build through the first three bags. Everything up to that point was very interesting and creative. Bags 4 - 6 were somewhat tedious/repetitive and I'm not particularly fond of the design of the branches/leaves/blossoms. Worst part is, I was previously familiar with the "frog" piece used as a "blossom" in this set and I'm having a hard time unseeing it. As it stands, it looks like a pink frog infestation has overtaken my zen garden. The humanity! It makes me wonder if this piece was grossly overrun (and in the wrong color) during production of a previous set and the Ideas project was an internal competition to figure out how to use up 3M pink frog pieces. I hope they used them all up on this project so we don't see this fauna masquerading as flora in future sets. Great idea, execution was a little underwhelming.

I have to confess that I don't have a green thumb so I had no luck with keeping plants alive, however, Lego solved my problem with this beautiful Bonsai Tree and flower collection (Flower Bouquet 10280, Roses 40460, and Tulips 40461). What an amazing surprise for 2021!!! Straight forward build and super cute display. I love how Lego included the option to switch between the green leaves and pink flower (frog). I wish they also included some orange leaves like the ones from the Tree House 21318 set. Overall a great set and please make more Lego sets like this :)

Just Stunning a Master Piece..!!! Brilliantly designed it (!!!!!) Worthy the wait for re stocking! I bought in store by shocking surprised it! It was second re stocking since launching it in this Lego store? The nice register lady said only one left, the box had small damaged it! I said I careless give it to me! Can I buy it..!!! Loved it!!! Thanks Lego!

I bought this set for the TREE to upgrade the *pitiful tree on top the new Shire hillside. *should NOT have had to, BTW. This set was on sale at a box store, improving the value I'll admit. BUT LOOK AT ALL THE EXTRA PARTS ♥ Brown! 200 1x1 tiles - not getting dumped like dirt but carefully placed in the future I'm sure :) AND I ♥ frogs - offsetting a 1 star review I hope :)-

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I love that this is made with plant-based plastics, that’s so awesome. Second, this is a beautiful and unique display piece. The unexpected shapes in the design are so fun. My 11 year old enjoyed putting this together. It took her longer to put together than traditional lego sets for kids but she enjoyed the challenge. She loves the fact that she can change out the leaves for the season or her mood. Perfect gift!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the The LEGO® Bonsai Tree 10281 model building kit to try and review. This kit is wonderful. My whole family built it together. Because it's Lego, the kids were interested but it's really a challenge for adults. My husband really enjoyed making it.

We have this on our sofa table since the size is compact and it is just a nice piece. We are not frog fans so we opted for the green bonsai with the pink flowers instead of the white. This is a relatively quick and simple build if you have some Lego experience, since the pieces are separated. I also like that it comes with different build options to change things up or make it go with your decor!

Absolutely amazing set. Never had the guts to grow and maintain a bonsai tree and now I have one that lasts forever. Love that I can switch between bonsai and a cherry blossom. So much fun to build and so relaxing. The frogs as the blossoms is such a cute touch. I love it.

I'm 15 never been into Legos but decided to go out of my comfort zone today and try the botanical collection bonsai tree it took me a few hours to build but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it I hope to get more of this collection in the future. Hopefully this helps with your decision on this product I highly recommend it!
