Some information on this years Flower Festival at Epcot. I wish I was going this year, just to see the sand sculptures. We saw some at Clearwater a few years ago and it was amazing what people could do.
Hopefully someone who is there will take lots of Pics for the rest of us. :worship:


The 16th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at Walt Disney World Resort takes place March 18-May 31, 2009. Amid a colourful tableau of flowers, plants and topiaries, Walt Disney World guests of all ages can explore myriad exhibits and activities geared toward gardening and outdoor fun. Visitors this year will be able to see amazing creations made entirely of sand. This is to celebrate the new film release Earth, presented by Disneynature. The film is due to be released in the USA on April 22nd.

New gardens, events and children’s play areas offer more reasons to visit the 16th annual festival:

·Green Garden– Guests discover how anyone can create an environmentally friendly garden as they learn about low-water-use gardens, incorporating native plants into their garden and recycling.

·Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden– Colourful topiaries of Tinker Bell and her friends from Walt Disney Pictures’ “Tinker Bell” sprinkle pixie dust over this whimsical garden. Every day, kids can participate in hands-on activities and, at 2 p.m., children dressed as fairies or princesses can join in a pixie processional. On March 21, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., the director and producer of “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” will be on hand to meet and greet guests.

·Pirates Adventure Zone – Captain Hook and Croc topiaries lure young swashbucklers to this interactive space designed for exploration and adventure.

·Floral Floating Gardens – Guests strolling the concourse between East and West lakes will discover a new twist to the colourful floating gardens: larger-than-ever 8-foot floaters of brilliant blooms serve the eco-function of drinking up excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates in order to keep pesky pollutants at bay.

·Special Environmentality Celebration (April 24-26) – This special event showcases how to keep the planet green through solutions like reducing waste.<!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->
