If you’re planning on heading into Walt Disney World from early March to mid-May, you’re in for a floral-filled treat.

The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is a special even focusing on spring flowers, gardens, and topiary, along with loads of live music and many educational events.

Think gardening isn’t “really your thing”? Think again. All ages will love the beauty of the lush gardens and whimsical figures. There are literally millions of blooming flowers over the grounds of Epcot, along with plenty of Disney-themed topiaries that will catch the eyes of both young and old.

And if there is one thing that attracts flowers and gardens, it’s gorgeous butterflies. Hundreds of colorful butterflies will frolic inside Bambi’s Magnificent Butterfly Garden.

Weekends are special treat: you can meet with top horticulturists at one of the many Garden Town Programs. Here you’ll learn helpful gardening tips and gather advice from the folks who helped design the scenery. And don’t miss out on any of the public demonstrations of advanced gardening techniques from around the world.
