This Might Be the BEST New Thing at the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

The 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival begins on February 28th, which is only a couple of days away!

Figment topiary for the festival

EPCOT has been busy getting ready for its spring festival! The butterfly garden has been getting set up and the food booths have been changed over from the Festival of the Arts to the Flower & Garden Festival. But what we have enjoyed seeing the most so far are all the character topiaries that have been going up around the park. Now, a new one has arrived, and it might be our favorite ever!

When Disney announced this year’s Flower and Garden Festival, they mentioned an all-new topiary would be joining the festival. Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy will be making his festival debut!

Now, this amazing topiary has indeed found its way into EPCOT, and y’all, it’s so cool — it even plays music!

We’re already fans of Groot, but this topiary might have made us love him even more. He’s standing tall with his cassette tape overhead, and we are jamming out. You can find him over in World Discovery near the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride!

If you’re familiar with the movies, you’ll probably know that the movies are named per volume such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. You can also listen to the soundtracks which are named for the volume. Well, Groot’s cassette above his head is called Green-House Mix Vol. 1! How fun is that?

We are floored by this topiary. It’s possibly the best one at the festival! But there are tons of wonderful character topiaries to be seen around EPCOT. Head to the Flower & Garden Festival from February 28th through May 27th to see them all.

We’ll be there on day one to try all the food and activities, so stay tuned to DFB!
