2008 Epcot International Flower & Garden Fest

I always look forward to festivals at Epcot, especially the food and wine festival and the upcoming Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which will boast world-class flower and horticultural displays, specially themed weekends and the Flower Power concert series. I plan to wander through the endless displays of colorful roses, wildflowers and Disney topiary displays, as well as attend some of the fascinating gardening seminars, workshops and demonstrations. Children's activities will be available also at the 15th-annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which has been expanded to 75 days this year - from March 19 through June 1, 2008. Best of all, the festival is included in Epcot's regular admission price.
