From the 2024 Epcot International Flower & Garden FestivalMy friends, I have a quick favor to ask regarding the 2025 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Please don’t add any 2025 topiary pictures in the comments on Facebook until after March 5, the official start date. I’ve had several people write to me when they’ve seen this year’s pictures, confused about when the Flower & Garden Festival officially begins. Many don’t realize that the topiaries start going up a couple of weeks in advance. I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I love each and every one of you! And, like you, I’m excited for March 5.
