Walt Disney World Epcot’s 2010 Flower and Garden Festival Highlights
Epcot, at Walt Disney World, will soon be host to the 2010 Flower and Garden Festival, March 3, through May 15, 2010. The festivities get under way earlier than usual this year, and the schedule looks to be absolutely wonderful. There will be speakers, and lessons on gardening, lots and lots of special merchandise to purchase, many more things to see, along with, of course, the beautiful floral decorations through Epcot. You won’t be disappointed. Here are some of the highlights for this year’s schedule.
Learn about gardening at home. You can meet Disney gardening experts and they will share tips and secrets with you about planting your own garden. Each demonstration will include hands–on discoveries, and you get to take home what you create. Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to start of the presentation; seating is based on a first come, first served basis and seating is limited.
