My friends, I have a quick favor to ask regarding the 2026 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Please don’t add any 2026 topiary pictures in the comments on Facebook until after March 4, the official start date. In past years, I’ve had people write to me when they’ve seen current pictures, confused about when the Flower & Garden Festival officially begins. Many don’t realize that the topiaries start going up a few weeks in advance. I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I love each and every one of you! And, like you, I’m excited for March 4. It’s my favorite festival.
