That is exactly what I wondered when I saw the incredible garden displays at Epcot's annual Flower & Garden Festival. It was absolutely amazing! Not that Disney is anything less than amazing but during the festival they really outdo themselves. I wished I could just forget seeing all the attractions and just sit in one of their gardens with a pot of tea and a good book.
They have a special garden tent up during this time and have different demonstrations and garden shows going on throughout the day. Different experts discussed family fun garden ideas, tips on growing pot gardens, the different ways to use herbs and much, much more.
All around the park they have topiaries trimmed to look like different characters. Here's Cinderella and Prince Charming:
Oops, wrong Cinderella and Prince. Here's the one I meant ;)
This was probably one of my favorite areas. It was in Canada:
In France, the topiaries were designed to look like Dior bottles. Cute, huh? If you're ever in France be sure to stop by the Patisserie and indulge in one of their delicious pastries. The creme brulee was to die for.
In England they had giant teacups filled with the different types of tea plants and herbs. I really liked those. They had little signs in front of each one with the details of the type of plant, what it's good for, etc.
Then we had fun playing in the telephone booths. Ok, I had fun playing in the telephone booth.
The boys had a blast going to each country and getting tags for their masks. Ace bought himself a passport and had it stamped in each country too. I love that Epcot has an educational element included in the fun. He couldn't wait to take his passport to school for show and tell!
I can't wait to go back!
