?? Flower and Garden show demonstrations

[lamchop]

Heading down to WDW in May. It will be our first time at Flower and garden show. I'm looking for info on the events held in the festival Center, ie, the gardening demonstrations and the hands-on workshops. I read (somewhere) that you get to take home things from the hands on workshops. what exactly are we making? Does it travel easily? we'll be flying down. Is there a list of the daily demonstrations with descriptions? It seems like we would need to make the Festival Center the first stop of the day, so we can see what's happening that day. I have the list of the HGTV stars and their dates. I'm mainly looking for more info on all of the other demonstrations. Thanks for the help! Can't wait to see all the topiaries!

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but the tea tour from Twinings was delightful. We went last year and came upon it by accident. We were a party of 3 adults who all drink tea. We met some really friendly guests and learned a little about tea. We got to sample some tea and got a few (maybe 3?) teabags to take home to. It was pretty short and worth it to us. Plus, the tour guide was cute and had a fantastic accent since he was from Liverpool!

It sounds like you are asking about the event at the Greenhouse Stage. They take place every day at 11am and 2pm. Each day is a different class except for the weekends.
A CM will give a talk on a certain subject and after you get to do a project, and take it home (most times, not all the talk may have nothing to do with the project)
So far this year the plants have been on the small side, but that could change, last year we did pine trees, with the pot they were about 2 ft. Tall

Thank You both for your replies! I am already planning on signing up for the "tea tour"! Sounded like something fun and different. was your tour full? How early did you sign up? We're not planning on getting back to that area till lunch time. would that be ok to take the 4pm tour?

Ally... thats exactly what I was looking for! Guess we'll see what topics interest us, and anything we get to make will be a bonus!
