Flower & Garden Festival - What Not to Miss?

[Emily & Sarah's Mom]

My husband, DDs (9,4) and I will be at Epcot on June 10th. What special garden displays/activities should we be sure to see?

Thank you!

Check and see which performers will be at the Flower Power concerts while you are there. Definitely check out the butterfly garden - I missed it last year and regret it.

The topiaries in Epcot are amazing - I have so many great pics of them. Someday I'll get around to printing them out, LOL.

I'm sure you'll get many more suggestions, but at least you have a start!

ETA: Thought of another one: There's a ladybug release every day (I can't remember the time, I think it's in the afternoon) I'm sure your DD's would enjoy that as well.

The butterfly tent, for sure!

My son would probably love this. Are we talking about a large number of ladybugs?

There is a maze over by the Rose Garden path. Last year it was Mickey's Farmers Market (or something like that). It's very cute.

They should have a schedule out soon (I'm sure someone on these boards will post it) which gives the times for the Lady Bug release.

Last year, they gave us each a small box, and we opened it to let them go. It was neat but feels funky to have ladybugs crawling all over your hand. It was in an area in the World Showcase, not far from France I think.

also Home Depot usually has a thing for children....last year you got to plant a tomato to take home...the year before it was an air plant in a dinosaur....you get a special apron with the Epcot F&G logo too!

This sounds neat, I think it should be for adults too!!! I'd love a tomato in my garden from WDW!!! This will be our first Flower and Garden Show so I'm very excited to see it.

Where is the Home Depot thing? That sounds good for us too.

Thanks!
