Get Inspired by Disney Topiaries

Adore the Disney Character topiaries? You’ll find plenty of these clever constructions throughout EPCOT®. Talk about perfect photo ops! If gazing at gardens gives you a sense of wonder or provides you with ideas for your own garden back home, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to draw upon. Among our favorites are the Floating Gardens at World Nature, the miniature garden at the German Pavilion and the striking Garden Italiano in the Italian Pavilion. You’ll also want to make time for a self-guided tour of the English Tea Garden Presented by Twinings® of London at the United Kingdom Pavilion, complete with a stop at the Tea Caddy Shop where you’ll find many of the teas for sale.

Join the Search with Scavenger Hunts

Guests of all ages can answer the call to adventure with two different scavenger hunt experiences. Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration returns to invite young gardeners along Spike the Bee’s pollen trail, where he collects nectar throughout the flowers on display. And beginning March 13, hop into the Egg-stravaganza Scavenger Hunt, where decorative eggs inspired by Disney Characters are waiting to be discovered!

Both scavenger hunt experiences begin with the purchase of a special map at select merchandise locations, available while supplies last. (Remember, you can redeem your Disney Rewards Dollars toward your map!)² When the hunt is finished, return the completed map to the merchandise location for a surprise worth buzzing about!

Run Around Butterfly Landing Presented by Advent Health

You and the kids will be awed as you watch Monarch butterflies hatch by the hundreds at Butterfly Landing presented by Advent Health. Or sit, sip and munch on something delicious while you watch the youngsters romp on innovative, specially designed playgrounds.

Experience the Garden Rocks Concert Series

Get ready to groove among the greens! Get down with guest musicians bringing their beats from all around the world at the American Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion. To add some delicious dishes to these fresh sounds, book a Garden Rocks Dining Package that includes seating for the Garden Rocks Concert Series. Explore the entertainment schedule to see the possibilities.

Nosh on Fresh Disney-Inspired Foods

A festival without food just wouldn’t be a festival, right? Since this event is all about gardens, you’ll find plenty of tempting items and beverages incorporating fresh ingredients at 17 outdoor kitchens. Be sure to pay a visit to the EPCOT® Farmers Feast outdoor kitchen, which serves a constantly evolving farm-to-table menu. And to start the day in a fresh way with delicious brunch, get some bites at this year’s newly-added BRUNCHCOT!

Shop for One-of-a-Kind Souvenirs

If you want to bring home a colorful decoration for your garden or a souvenir for yourself, you’ll find plenty to choose from, including adorable Orange Bird keepsakes, Figment apparel, Mickey Mouse garden tools and more. When shopping, remember to redeem your Disney Reward Dollars toward your merchandise.²
