Orlando, March 3 – May 16, 2010. The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is here! There is a lot to this beautiful event, much more than the eye and nose will experience. It is a learning trip though the World of Disney as well as general information on flower and garden practices.
New At The Epcot Flower And Garden Festival 2010
The Community Garden, where Mickey and Minnie, Pluto, Donald and Goofy bring honor to the Celebration of the “Give-a-Day, Get-a-Day” in Disney. If you have not yet heard of this Disney initiative, well, it is about encouraging the neighborhood to spend a day doing some well needed community service and in return you would get a day entrance for free in Disney. Anyways, this display at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is the celebration of this incentive.
The American Gothic Mickey and Minnie is a new feature and The Herbs And Vegetables Home Grown novelty in the Canadian Pavilion will teach the visitor on how to conserve water wisely, sponsoring through RainBird.
Of course, if you have not been to this Disney attraction within the Epcot theme park then everything is new. It is beautiful, it is a completely different angle to this park and it is definitely something you want to see.
Learn As You Go To The Epcot Flower And Garden Festival
It wouldn’t be fair to snitch on all the details of this event that you can only experience by visiting. Disney also has a large collection of high resolution pictures of almost all topiaries and presentations. Not spoiling the fun, surely you can find them if you Google ‘m.
If you like, every Friday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm decorators from Walt Disney World horticulture department will tell-all about the making of the Flower and Garden Festival. Also, you can learn how to create an environment friendly garden in The Green Garden. Really cool are the gardening experts from the University of Florida who will be present every Friday through Sunday from 1pm to 4 pm and can help you with any questions you may have on your garden projects.
There are tours in various locations, some are free and others will require a fee. The 3 hour tour called the Garden Explorations will take you through the gardens at the World Showcase in Epcot and if you are into gardening this is a must-do. You will need an admission to the park however and there is an additional $59 plus tax fee for the exploration.
If you like just to stroll in the park and enjoy the beauty of the displays, the fragrance of flowers at the French pavilion, why not the fun of hundreds of butterflies at the Fawn’s Butterfly House that is all fine too. Have a great time!
UPDATE: Go here to see the 2012 Flower And Garden Event in Epcot
I would just like to talk to a horticulturist within your company. Our company is having a 40 year celebration and would like some larger than life flower ideas to place around our grounds. If someone could contact me to help me figure out how to do numbers in flowers as part of the flower beds. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Discount Vacation Rentals Online for sure cannot help you with that question, Mary. I have been trying to find a customer service number for Disney that could help us with the flower arrangements. The only number I found is the more generic help line here: (407) 939-6244
Let us know if you got an answer to your request and how you got to it?
