Hey there Heather, happy to see you back at planDisney!
The
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is finally here! My family loves taking our time strolling through this festival. From the beautiful topiaries (did you see the sneak peek of the
new Moana and Maui topiaries?), the
Camp Get Out 'N' Play Garden, and the
Outdoor Kitchens, everyone can enjoy the festival offerings.
I reached out to a Cast Member to get some information about the topiaries sold at the festival. Unfortunately, she was unable to tell me if shipping to your home from EPCOT was an option. The topiaries come from a third-party vendor, so you may be able to speak to someone at the festival about how you can get one home. Last year my son noticed that small Venus fly traps were available to purchase, and we were able to speak with someone from the vendor regarding how to care for the plant and if they were available to purchase online.
For another EPCOT souvenir, did you know you can purchase a plant grown in The Land Pavilion? You can find these small plants after you exit
Living with the Land, near the desk where you check in for the
Behind the Seeds Tour.
And since we're talking about the blooms of Walt Disney World, check out this recent
Disney Parks Blog article about the origin of the flowers that make up the iconic Mickey flowerbed as you enter Magic Kingdom!
I’m sorry I didn’t have more information to share at this time, Heather. I hope you enjoy the Flower & Garden Festival and find a way to take home your own tiny topiary! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us at
planDisney!
