An elaborate "Cinderellabration" topiary and an environmentally friendly
Green Garden will bring fresh springtime flair to the 17th annual Epcot
International Flower & Garden Festival March through Mid May 2010.
Amid a colorful tableau of flowers, plants and topiaries, Walt Disney
World guests of all ages can explore myriad exhibits and activities
geared toward gardening and outdoor fun. Weekend Flower Power concerts
will pump up the volume and spread a groovy vibe at America Gardens
Theatre in World Showcase.
Every spring, Disney gardeners channel their creative energy into
presenting an intricate topiary display against the backdrop of
Spaceship Earth. This year, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Snow
White and the seven dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty and Prince Phillip, and
Belle and Beast from “Beauty and the Beast” debut in all their
“blooming finery” as the grand front-entrance topiary during the
75-day festival. Disney’s topiary gardeners display extraordinary
craftsmanship using a variety of plants, flowers, grasses and mosses
in the “Cinderellabration” topiary – as well as 70 additional
topiaries decorating the park landscape.
