Disney has announced the dates for the 27th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at Walt Disney World, Florida.

Dates: 4 March to 1 June 2020

This 90-day spring extravaganza at Epcot will sprout in a big way for its 27th year with seasonal sights, sounds and flavours designed to delight everyone in the family. From the creative dishes and libations offered at the festival's Outdoor Kitchens to the fan favourite artists who'll perform during the Garden Rocks Concert Series, bouquets of spring fun will welcome guests around every corner of the park.

This longest running Epcot festival is known for its themed topiaries, and the Epcot horticulture team already has begun plans to introduce a brand-new Remy topiary - the centrepiece of a new Ratatouille Garden at the France pavilion! This delicious new garden will be planted with veggies used in a ratatouille recipe. We love Remy, and we can't wait! Guests also will find favorite returning character topiaries including Snow White, Elsa and Anna, Belle and Beast, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Miss Piggy and Kermit.

As festival-goers explore the Outdoor Kitchens, they'll discover raised-bed or in-ground gardens of herbs and produce and discover how to grow their own healthful foods. Thousands of bedding plants in every color of the rainbow will decorate the landscape around Future World and World Showcase, and dozens of Disney-crafted "flower towers" will offer colorful backdrops for spring selfies. Festive mini-gardens will be set afloat like floral pontoons on the Future World east and west lakes.

Children will love burning off energy with siblings and friends at the festival’s Play Garden and Family Play Zone. Guests of all ages will flock to The Goodness Garden Butterfly House presented by GoGoSqueeZ. And the popular "How To" garden will return with clever tips for home gardeners.

I do love the Flower and Garden festival - I hope that all of the construction/building work doesn't impact on it too much.
