New List of Gardens and Topiaries Coming to 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

It’s almost that time of the year again where the smell of fresh spring is in the air and Epcot is filled with the beautiful topiaries and gardens that guests have become quite fond of over the years. This morning the new list revealing the new topiaries and gardens was released!

Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot

I can’t personally pick my favorite Epcot Festival throughout the year because I enjoy them all equally. However, I very much enjoy visiting during the Flower and Garden Festival because of so many different experiences and offerings.

This will mark the the 28th year of Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival.

It will run from March 3rd through July 5th, 2021. Valid park admission reservation and ticket is needed. The Spring celebration welcomes gardening, topiaries, butterflies, gardens, food, and music throughout the festival.

It is a festival not to be missed!

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Outdoor Kitchens

Have I mentioned the food? Well, guests are in for quite the treat while visiting Epcot this time of year! Food galore!

Disney has released information regarding outdoor kitchens for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Read HERE to learn more!

Now, let me share with you my FAVORITE food during the Flower and Garden Festival that I truly wish on a shooting star would be on the menu throughout the year: Frushi!

Oh, my goodness… if you have never tried this delicacy, then you are missing out! Hurry…run…book a park pass for Epcot!

What is frushi? Frushi is fruit sushi! It is made up of sushi rice, cream of coconut, strawberries, cantaloupe and pineapple.

It is then rolled up in soy wrappers. The piece of résistance is the garnish of toasted coconut, raspberry puree, and whipped cream! Delicious!

Topiaries and Gardens

Besides my love of enjoying about twenty servings of frushi, I truly admire and love walking around seeing all of the different topiaries that the Flower and Garden have to offer.

In fact, I even wrote an article about visiting all the topiaries in one day. Make sure to read my article HERE!
