Spring is quickly approaching which means the start of our favorite springtime celebration, the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.
I thought it would be fun to take a look at all the best Epcot Flower and Garden topiaries over the years.
This festival is always great at delighting guest’s taste buds at the eleven Outdoor Kitchens.
But the star of the show is the natural garden creations conjured up by the Disney Cast Members.
