I think I'm tipsy just reading the menus. Flower and Garden just a cover for Food and Wine Festival part 2.

I really like the direction the F&G Festival is heading. If they add a few more booths it's a spring food and wine which fine in my book.

Those are beautiful photos, and thank you for sharing them. The Flower and Garden Festival is so special.

Having visited WDW during F&G over the years, I always enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, and the splendor of all the flowers, topiaries and creative gardens. There's really nothing that compares to it, IMO.

How long is the F+G Festival going to last for?

May 18 I think. First Star Wars Weekend.

Agreed, but the menus definitely place more of an emphasis on fruits/vegetables/flowers; I think it's theme-appropriate. And don't say that too loud, the crowds haven't caught on yet.

Couldn't help noticing the Mary Poppins topiary. Does anyone know if the one at the Grand Floridian is back yet? It's been gone for months last I saw or heard. I loved seeing that thing from the resort loop.

I'm a big fan of the food booths.... I only wish there were 1 or 2 more to be honest!

However, an aspect of flower and garden that I think could be beneficial would be 'show gardens' similar to what you get at Chelsea Flower Show here in London - gardens set up to look at and give inspiration. Maybe two or three in Future World - with modern elements such as irrigation systems, modern lighting/design and new ways of incorporating fruit/veg (an extension of The Land if you will, but in a show garden concept) whilst in World Showcase more of a larger garden display of world inspiration that changes each year - several gardens set up themed to countries that aren't in world showcase.... An Indian garden, a Greek garden, an Hawaiian garden - something that's not just character topiaries and gardener a/designers could be on hand to give tips.
