hey Florida travelers Chrissa here and the flower and garden festival
is in full swing this year so if you're thinking about going and bringing in
the spring with this awesome festival i'm gonna go over all of the details
disney's flower and garden festival at epcot is one of my favorite festivals throughout the year
to me it just brings in the spring and what better way to celebrate than with a festival
even although this year's event is a bit smaller than it has been in past years
it will be disney's longest running flower and garden festival that they've ever held
the festival this year will run from march 4th until july 5th
and it features a number of different food booths topiaries gardens and entertainment
if you're not familiar with the flower and garden festival it's a yearly event that is held at epcot
in at disney world every year typically from march until may and attendance for the event
is included with admission into epcot so if you're already planning on visiting disney world anyway
anytime between march and july this year you'll be able to enjoy the flower and garden festival
one of my favorite things that i love to see every year is disney's amazing character topiaries
this year they will feature 24 different topiaries that are spread throughout epcot
if you are looking for them they do tend to be in every different section of epcot in addition
to that every country will also feature a topiary or two the other amazing feature at the flower and
garden festival is also the number of different gardens that you're able to go and check out
a few of my favorites that i look forward to every year is the festival bloom panorama that are made
up of thousands of different colored flowers that edge the east and west lake by the way if you want
to know there is more than 3.5 million bedding plants that are planted across disney world
every year and over 200,000 plants are added just for the flower and garden festival there
are also over 3,500 different plant species that represent almost every continent except antarctica
one of the other gardens that i look forward to walking through
is the goodness garden butterfly garden this butterfly garden is located on the west side of
future world and showcases a number of different butterflies up close so in here you'll be able to
see the entire life cycle of the butterflies and you might even be able to see one emerge
i love this area because it's not only just stunning but you're able to really get up close
and personal with a number of different butterflies they're just everywhere
the floating gardens is also another one of my favorites there are hundreds of these little
flower pots that are drifting within the ponds between future world and the world showcase
if you're a huge orchid fan like i am then you have to make sure that
you swing by the extraordinary orchids at the mexico pavilion the orchids here
line the walkway walking up to the mexico pavilion and they're just beautiful
there is also the garden italiano at the italy pavilion which features tuscan garden produce
and herbs that are needed to create whichever favorite italian dish you want also in italy
is the lady and the [ __ ] topiary which is located on the edge of the world showcase lagoon
do you love bonsai because they have an amazing collection of bonsai located at the
japan pavilion several banzai masters spend hours to ensure that these trees are perfectly created
do you love our inspired by a spice garden there is a beautiful spice and herb blend located near
the morocco pavilion are you into english tea then you'll have to swing by the uk pavilion
and check out the cutest tea garden featuring some of the plants used in twinning's tea blend
there are so many other little gardens throughout epcot and you could spend days just walking
in and around each one so make sure to take a look on the website before you go
and see which ones that you want to be able to take the time to go through
of course with each and every epcot festival one of the biggest
draws is going to be the food there are so many amazing booths located throughout epcot
and disney creates these wonderful little passports that you can pick up that lists
all of the different food that you can try while you're at the festival
if you are going specifically for the food one of the places that i highly recommend you
check out is the world show place the world show place is located at the west side of the world
showcase and features a number of different festival favorites you won't want to miss it
i wasn't able to find if disney was doing any of their smaller add-on events this year like
they usually do i'm assuming that they've canceled all of them due to covid however
they do still have some entertainment specifically for the flower and garden vessel i was lucky to
be able to catch a couple of them as i walked around one of which was the jamiters at the mill
stage which is a drumming crew that uses unusual instruments such as trash cans brooms and tin cans
the other one was the pianist at the world show place if you want to be able to enjoy
any of the entertainment they do list the show times in the festival guide
overall the flower and garden festival is just amazing and definitely one of
my favorite events throughout the year even though the years is not as big as it has been
in previous years it still features quite a number of the things that make it so special
in addition to that they're going to be hosting it for quite a lot longer than they have been
this year so you'll have plenty of time to be able to swing by and check out this event so
