Below: Parts contained in the custom building kit.

PARTS LIST
42 clear 1x2 bricks
12 clear 2x2 45-degree slopes
12 orange 1x2 45-degree slopes
8 orange 1x2 grills
18 orange 1x1 bricks
18 lime 1x1 caps
4 red 2x2 smooth tiles
1 green 8x16 base plate
12 green flower stalks (3 stems)
5 sprues of 4 dark pink flowers
4 sprues of 4 red flowers
4 green transparent cones
2 green bamboo leaf parts
2 yellow sunflowers
2 yellow transparent 1x1 caps
3 medium blue transparent 1x1 caps
1 black/gray gearshift
1 orange 2x4 plate
2 orange 1x2 bricks


Step 1: Attach red 2x2 smooth tiles to green 8x16 base plate to create “stepping stones”. Build 4 stacks of 3 clear 2x2 slopes for the roof. Using orange 1x1 bricks and lime 1x1 caps create 6 stacks of 3 alternating caps/bricks. Using 2 stacks of orange bricks/lime caps, add orange 1x4 arch brick and 2 orange grills as shown. Attach green transparent cones together creating 2 stacks of 2. Add green bamboo leaf, yellow sunflower and finish with yellow transparent 1x1 cap on each. Remove flowers from sprues by gently twisting. Place a flower on the end of each stem on all 12 green flower stalks. Stack stems/stalks in 6 bouquets of 2 as shown. Place orange 2x4 plate on orange 1x2 bricks to form garden table. Stack 3 medium blue transparent 1x1 caps and add gearshift to build water atomizer.


Step 2: Assemble clear 1x2 transparent bricks in 9 stacks of 4 bricks each. These stacks will form the greenhouse “walls”. With remaining 6 clear 1x2 bricks, create 2 assemblies of 3 bricks each stacked as shown. These assemblies form the greenhouse “gables”.


Step 3: Snap 3 wall sections in place as shown. Place sunflower on base plate between pegs.


Step 4: Add orange/lime columns to back wall and flower bouquets to base plate.


Step 5: Add remaining columns and wall sections. Add gable section to back wall.


Step 6: Place orange 1x2 45-degree slopes on back wall as shown to begin roof structure.


Step 7: Carefully add clear slope assemblies and snap remaining gable to front wall.


Step 8: Continue roof structure by adding remaining orange 1x2 slopes to front wall.


Step 9: Carefully place the orange 1x2 grills along ridge to complete the roof structure.


Step 10: Add garden arch, table, water atomizer and sunflower to green base plate.


Step 11: Place remaining flower bouquets in “garden” as shown. Add minifigure.


Notes: Change the color of your greenhouse by simply replacing bricks, caps and/or slopes. Using your own brick collection pieces, consider adding flowers of alternate colors or sizes. Even add a tree or a bench seat so your minifig can take a break after a long gardening day.
