Epcot Flower & Garden Show
lms...@nslsilus.org
Has anyone been to or know anyone who's been to the EC Flower and
Garden Show? I'm interested in going down there in May next year and
would like to start planning for it now. I'm sure the flowers are lovely but
how are the seminars/programs? Thanks for the info.

Yes, there are talks given in the Odyssey Restaurant; once in the morning
and the same one repeated in the afternoon. There are also tents set up
in both Future World and World Showcase giving either talks or demos.
There are extra-fee tours of the WDW greenhouses as well.

And it's also very, very, very beautiful. You have to visit EPCOT in
this period of the year at least once in your life (in my opinion).
I attend the Topiary Magic seminar, and it was pretty interesting. Mind
you though that you don't leave with one, but with the ideas.

You can also pick up a bunch of information on the Flower & Garden
Show at the Discovery Center.

We've enjoyed the festival the past two years. As to the workshops, they were
very well done -- informative and practical. They also had lots of good
handouts so you could remember everything you learned after you got home.
I especially enjoyed the topiary and hanging basket workshops. The presenters
are Disney horticulturists, and as this is my daughter's major, we enjoyed
visiting with them after the workshops. If you plan your trip on the right
weekend (this year, it was June 4th if I remember correctly), you can also
enjoy the visiting artists who are set up and painting throughout World
Showcase. There are also good exhibits and additional workshops in the old
Oddyssey Restaurant building. Don't miss the floating gardens -- I think
that was one of my favorites!
