Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Topiaries & Gardens Guide (with Pics and Checklist)

Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Topiaries & Gardens Guide (with Pics and Checklist)

Epcot never looks more beautiful than it does during the International Flower and Garden Festival.

And our absolute favorite part of the Flower and Garden Festival are all the topiaries and gardens that can be found throughout the park. They are a must-see piece to this festival and definitely worth making the time to explore.

Here’s what topiaries and gardens are on display, where to find them, and a handy checklist to use as you tour the park.

New topiaries for 2024

The 2024 festival features over 70 topiaries, including the debut of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and topiaries from the film Wish featuring Asha, Valentino and the Wishing Star at the park’s entrance.

And, also new for 2024, Miguel and Dante from Disney Pixar’s Coco have made their debut in Mexico.
