2014 FLOWER AND GARDEN FESTIVAL

 

 

 

 

 

If you have never experienced the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, it is something you must put on your calendar for next year between March and April!

We purchased a 4-day Florida residents pass this year and spent every opportunity at Epcot.  Earlier, we spent two full days and fell in love as we explored Behind the Seeds, but this time the whole park was transformed by flowers and topiaries everywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course I’m all about Tea, Herbs and Gardening plus a hint of Blessing and Inspiration and the Flower & Garden Festival did not disappoint!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What’s a trip to the United Kingdom without visiting an English Tea Garden – this one sponsored by Twinings of London included larger than life tea cups filled with tea plants representing some of Twinings’ favorite brews like . . .

 

 

 

 

 

English Breakfast

 

 

 

 

and Peppermint

 

 

 

Herbs took on a whole new look in this garden of Water Wise Herbs and Vegetables.  Such unique containers and displays showed how to grow with innovative water saving systems . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

. . . from towers

 

 

to raised beds

 

 

 

and
everything
in
between.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite was these
wire baskets mounted on
posts and filled with
flowers and edible
nasturtiums!

 

 

 

 

Butterflies and unique fairy houses filled Tinker Bell’s Butterfly House, providing whimsy and inspiration to all ages. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Special
art pieces
plus
educational displays rounded out the experience.

 

 

 

 

 

We had planned to return to the Flower & Garden Festival one more time, however, it surely was a special blessing even just once!
