If you’re in NYC, Atlanta, or Nashville, you can celebrate Valentine’s Day this weekend with a beautiful botanical celebration courtesy of LEGO. LEGO Botanicals Trucks are bringing the finest of LEGO Botanicals blooms to these three beautiful cities and creating gardens worth visiting. At each location, you’ll be able to frolic with the LEGO flowers and make one of your own to take home, free! It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
LEGO’s Valentine’s Day Botanicals Pop-Up Mixed Real and LEGO Flowers in Gardens
We at Nerdist were lucky enough to visit the NYC LEGO Botanicals Valentine’s Day pop-up, and we had an absolutely darling time. At the NYC location, the LEGO pop-up divided up into three gardens, each showcasing some of LEGO’s finest Botanicals builds. These LEGO florals carefully intermixed with real flowers, and we couldn’t even tell where LEGO ended and where nature began. A truly gorgeous experience. The LEGO pop-up created the Garden of Connection, the Garden of Serenity, and the Garden of Resilience and accentuated each of the themes with the appropriate blooms. (Resilience = LEGO succulents, etc.)
Additionally, we visited the LEGO Botanicals Truck and saw the museum of LEGO flowers. Learning the history of the LEGO Botanicals sets was a real treat. And there was some gorgeous artwork of each LEGO flower and plant to boot.
LEGO Let Visitors Build Their Own LEGO Daffodil, Free!
At each stop, visitors collected a LEGO daffodil petal, and then they headed to the Build and Bloom station, where they put together the pieces of their collected daffodil kit. The station included very simple directions and plenty of pieces for guests to make their free LEGO daffodil, a beautiful flower that will never fade or die. Both skilled and first-time LEGO builders could put this elegant LEGO flower together, and it’s one of the best free gifts we’ve seen in a while.
We also felt delighted to drink some LEGO-themed hot beverages, including cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and hibiscus tea! A sweet addition to the floral fun and a great Valentine’s Day treat from LEGO.
